New-Scale Fusion: How Exabeam Transforms Your SOC and Protects Your Business from Cyber Threats

Today’s cyber threat is a complex, rapidly changing, and ever-growing problem for any Security Operations Center (SOC). Overburdened analyst teams, outdated tools, and a shortage of qualified specialists lead to missed attacks, high costs, and reduced security effectiveness. How can you ensure cyber resilience in these conditions?

Exabeam New-Scale Fusion is a platform that, according to the manufacturer, is changing the approach to cybersecurity, providing SOCs with the ability to cope with modern threats more efficiently and economically. It’s not just another tool, but a comprehensive cybersecurity automation solution that combines data collection and analysis, behavioral analytics, automated responses, and incident management into a single platform.

Instead of delving into technical details, let’s look at how Exabeam claims New-Scale Fusion solves specific problems based on the company’s presented case studies. It is important to note that the results below are based on Exabeam’s statements and require independent verification.

Case 1: Preventing Massive Data Leaks Through Compromised Accounts

Problem:

A financial services company faced increasing incidents of employee account compromise. Attackers gained access to sensitive customer data and used it for fraudulent operations. Existing security systems, based on signature analysis, could not detect these attacks, as the attackers used legitimate credentials and acted within normal business processes.

Solution with New-Scale Fusion:

The company implemented Exabeam New-Scale Fusion to monitor user behavior and identify anomalies. The platform used machine learning to create baseline profiles of each employee’s behavior, taking into account working hours, applications used, data access, and other factors. Any deviations from the norm, such as logging in during non-working hours, accessing unusual data, or using suspicious applications, were automatically identified as potential incidents.

In one case, New-Scale Fusion discovered that a financial analyst’s account was being used to access files containing confidential information about major transactions. The access occurred at three in the morning from an IP address located in another country. The platform automatically generated an alert and blocked the account. SOC analysts immediately investigated and confirmed that the account had been compromised. Thanks to timely detection and response, a data leak was prevented.

Result (according to Exabeam):

• Reduced the number of data leaks associated with account compromise by 85%.
• Accelerated attack detection time by 90%.
• Reduced incident response time by 75%.

Important: These figures are provided by Exabeam and require independent verification to confirm their accuracy.

Type of attacks:

External attacks, account compromise.

Key benefit (for the manager):

Minimizing reputational risks, preventing financial losses, protecting intellectual property, complying with regulatory requirements.

Case 2: Optimizing the Work of SOC Analysts and Reducing Incident Investigation Time

Problem:

The SOC of a large retail company was overwhelmed by a large number of false positives and routine tasks. Analysts spent most of their time checking alerts that did not pose a real threat and gathering information from various sources to investigate incidents. This led to analyst burnout, increased investigation time, and an increased risk of missing real attacks.

Solution with New-Scale Fusion:

Exabeam New-Scale Fusion automates many of the routine tasks of SOC analysts. The platform uses machine learning to prioritize alerts, automatically enriches them with contextual information, and provides analysts with a complete picture of the incident. Automated response features allow you to automatically isolate infected hosts, block malicious IP addresses, and initiate other incident response actions. (Source: Exabeam Incident Responder)

Thanks to New-Scale Fusion, SOC analysts were able to focus on investigating real threats. The platform automatically collected information from various sources, such as event logs, traffic data, and vulnerability information, and provided analysts with a complete timeline of events. This allowed analysts to quickly identify the source of the attack, understand its scope, and take the necessary response measures.

Result (according to Exabeam):

• Reduced incident investigation time by 60%.
• Reduced the number of false positives by 80%.
• Freed up 40% of analysts’ work time to perform more complex tasks.

Important: These figures are provided by Exabeam and require independent verification to confirm their accuracy.

Type of attacks:

Various types of attacks, including malware, phishing, and web application attacks.

Key benefit (for the manager):

Improving the efficiency of the SOC, reducing personnel costs, improving team morale, reducing the risk of missing real attacks.

Case 3: Reducing SIEM Costs and Simplifying Cybersecurity Management

Problem:

The company used a traditional SIEM solution that required high costs for licensing, maintenance, and configuration. The platform was complex to manage and did not provide sufficient visibility into the cyber threat landscape. The company had difficulty attracting and retaining qualified specialists to work with SIEM. The company spent huge amounts of money on storing logs, but did not receive sufficient value from their analysis.

Solution with New-Scale Fusion:

Exabeam New-Scale Fusion offers a more economical and effective alternative to traditional SIEMs. The platform uses a cloud architecture that allows you to scale resources on demand and reduce infrastructure costs. New-Scale Fusion provides out-of-the-box analytics. It is worth noting that comparing the cost of Exabeam with traditional SIEM solutions requires individual analysis and consideration of the specifics of the customer’s infrastructure.

Thanks to New-Scale Fusion, the company was able to significantly reduce the costs of its cybersecurity infrastructure. The platform was easy to manage and did not require a large number of specialists. SOC analysts gained access to powerful data analysis and visualization tools that allowed them to quickly identify and investigate incidents.

Result (according to Exabeam):

• Reduced SIEM costs by 40%.
• Simplified cybersecurity management.
• Increased visibility into the cyber threat landscape.

Important: This figure is provided by Exabeam and requires independent verification, including a cost comparison with the previously used solution.

Type of attacks:

Protection against all types of attacks.

Key benefit (for the manager):

Reducing cybersecurity costs, improving return on security investments, reducing operating expenses, increasing cyber resilience.
