Exabeam Introduces Transformative Unified Workbench for Security Analysts with Generative AI Assistance

Unified Threat Management with Generative AI

Exabeam, a global pioneer in cybersecurity, has unveiled transformative enhancements to its Security Operations Platform. On February 27, 2024, the company introduced Threat Center and Exabeam Copilot, two groundbreaking tools designed to streamline threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) workflows.

Threat Center provides a unified workbench for SOC analysts, consolidating critical tools into a single interface. Exabeam Copilot, powered by generative AI, offers real-time assistance for complex threat analysis and actionable insights. Together, these innovations redefine efficiency and accuracy in security operations.

Tackling SOC Challenges with AI

Overcoming Siloed Systems

Security teams often face challenges managing fragmented tools and disconnected data. Exabeam’s State of TDIR Report 2023 revealed that organizations monitor only 66% of their environments, leaving critical blind spots. Threat Center addresses this gap, providing enhanced visibility and actionable insights across monitored areas.

Additionally, the report highlighted limited automation in SOC workflows, with over half of organizations automating less than 50% of TDIR processes. Exabeam Copilot and Threat Center leverage AI to simplify these workflows, enabling faster, more effective responses to cyberthreats.
