What’s New in Exabeam Product Development — October 2023
Key Updates to the Exabeam Security Operations Platform
Exabeam continues to lead innovation in cybersecurity with over 30 new features and improvements to the Exabeam Security Operations Platform in October 2023. These updates are designed to simplify third-party data ingestion, streamline workflows, and deliver advanced capabilities to help organizations achieve comprehensive threat detection and response.
- Microsoft 365 Exchange admin reports and Microsoft security alerts collector
- Enhanced roles and permissions for precise access control
- Advanced risk scoring in Alert and Case Management
- Granular suppression for rules and entities to reduce noise
- New-Scale Okta Context Management for improved authentication
Enhanced Visibility with Microsoft 365 Security Reports
The integration of Microsoft 365 Exchange admin reports and security alerts collectors into the Exabeam platform allows organizations to ingest alerts from Microsoft Defender, Azure Security Center, and Azure Active Directory Identity Protection. These advanced collectors enable the separation of endpoints from the old Office 365 connector into log-specific cloud collectors, simplifying configuration and enhancing clarity.
Expanded Roles and Permissions for Targeted Access
Exabeam has significantly enhanced its roles and permissions framework, increasing prepackaged roles from three to seven. These updates allow organizations of any size to define and manage access control more efficiently. Administrators can create custom roles with clear descriptions and targeted permissions, improving security and ensuring the right level of access for every team member.
Prioritizing Threats with Risk Scoring in Alerts and Cases
The new risk scoring system prioritizes high-risk alerts and cases for immediate analyst review. Risk scores inform system-generated priority levels, which can be manually adjusted for precision. Analysts can filter alerts and cases by priority, risk score, or alert age, enabling faster detection and mitigation of potential threats. This improvement streamlines workflows and focuses efforts where they matter most.
Reducing Noise with Granular Suppression
Granular suppression capabilities now allow users to suppress correlation rules for specific hosts or groups. This functionality targets noisy entities without compromising critical detections. The suppression wizard simplifies the process, ensuring that analysts can maintain focus on significant alerts while minimizing alert fatigue.
Strengthening Authentication with New-Scale Okta Context Management
Exabeam’s integration with Okta, a leading identity provider, boosts access and authentication capabilities. With Okta context tables, security teams can customize searches, correlation rules, and dashboards, enhancing the overall functionality of the platform. This integration ensures seamless management of user identities and strengthens an organization’s security posture.
