Exabeam provides a cloud-native New-Scale SIEM and UEBA platform that helps SOC teams detect, investigate, and respond to cyberthreats using behavioral analytics.
Exabeam is a global cybersecurity leader that provides a cloud-native platform for security operations (SecOps). Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Foster City, California, the company rose to prominence by pioneering the User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) category. Today, Exabeam offers a comprehensive portfolio known as the "New-Scale SIEM," which integrates log management, behavioral analytics, and automated incident response into a unified workflow.
The company's primary focus is helping organizations overcome the limitations of legacy Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, which often struggle with the scale of modern data and the sophistication of identity-based attacks. Exabeam serves a broad range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government agencies, targeting mid-to-large enterprises with complex security environments.
Over its history, Exabeam has evolved from a niche analytics overlay to a full-scale security operations platform. Their market presence is bolstered by a strong cloud-first strategy, delivering high-performance data ingestion and lightning-fast search capabilities. By automating the most tedious parts of an analyst's job—such as data normalization and timeline creation—Exabeam enables Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to stay ahead of threats like ransomware, data exfiltration, and compromised insiders. Following its recent merger with LogRhythm, Exabeam has further solidified its position as one of the largest independent security operations entities in the market.
Company Differentiation
Exabeam’s uniqueness as an organization is rooted in its "Security Operations First" philosophy. Unlike legacy security vendors that grew out of general IT logging, Exabeam was built specifically to solve the "human problem" in cybersecurity—the difficulty of detecting credential-based attacks and lateral movement. Their company culture emphasizes "outcome-based security," moving away from the industry trend of charging customers based on data volume, which often penalizes growth. Instead, they focus on a business model that prioritizes visibility and predictable costs.
Their approach to customer success is characterized by the Exabeam Community and a robust professional services framework designed to ensure that SOC teams aren't just installing software, but are actually improving their Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR). This organizational focus on the practitioner's daily workflow—rather than just the CISO’s compliance checklist—sets them apart as a partner that understands the operational fatigue inherent in modern security work.
Exabeam offers its capabilities through the New-Scale Platform, divided into specific functional modules:
Exabeam Log Management: The foundation for high-scale ingestion, search, and long-term retention. Best for compliance and basic forensic search.
Exabeam SIEM: Adds correlation rules, alerting, and incident management to the log management foundation.
Exabeam Fusion: The flagship offering that combines SIEM with Advanced Analytics (UEBA). It is designed for complex threat detection and automated response.
Exabeam Security Analytics: A standalone analytics layer that can sit on top of other SIEMs (like Splunk) to provide UEBA capabilities without replacing the existing log repository.
Exabeam Case Management & SOAR: Tools for automating the lifecycle of an incident, from ticket creation to automated remediation actions.
Product Differentiation
The primary differentiator for Exabeam’s product suite is its advanced User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA). While many SIEMs claim to offer analytics, Exabeam’s platform automatically creates a "normal" baseline for every user and device on a network. It utilizes machine learning to assign risk scores to anomalies, allowing security analysts to bypass thousands of noisy alerts and focus on high-risk incidents.
A standout technical feature is "Smart Timelines." This capability automatically stitches together disparate security logs into a chronological narrative of an attack, including lateral movement and credential switching. This eliminates the manual, hours-long process of cross-referencing logs from different sources. Furthermore, their "New-Scale SIEM" architecture is built on a cloud-native data lake that provides hyper-fast search capabilities and affordable long-term storage, solving the performance bottlenecks common in legacy SIEM architectures. Their integration ecosystem is also a major advantage, featuring hundreds of pre-built connectors that ensure fast time-to-value across diverse tech stacks.
