Exabeam, a global leader in security intelligence and automation, introduced a breakthrough capability in its New-Scale Security Operations Platform: security posture benchmarking within Exabeam Nova, the platform’s agentic AI-driven core. This new feature enables CISOs and security leaders to compare their organization’s security maturity against industry peers based on customizable factors such as sector, geography, and enterprise size.

The benchmarking capability is designed to help organizations prioritize resources, validate security investments, demonstrate program value, and better align operational performance with long-term strategy.

At the heart of this innovation is the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent embedded within the Outcomes Navigator. By analyzing telemetry and configuration data mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, Nova delivers ongoing performance scores that reflect how an organization’s detection coverage and maturity compare with its peers. This intelligence allows SOC teams to close detection gaps, strengthen coverage, and deliver board-ready insights that tie security posture directly to business outcomes.

“Security teams no longer want to stay reactive. With this release, we’re putting them on the offensive,” said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. “Benchmarking is now actionable data, enabling sharper decision-making, stronger coverage, and faster response. In just six months, we’ve delivered capabilities that others are still conceptualizing. This is proactive security in practice.”

“We are committed to delivering meaningful innovation — not headlines,” added Chris O’Malley, CEO of Exabeam. “By embedding benchmarking into Exabeam Nova, we give our customers the clarity, confidence, and data-driven direction they need to continuously elevate their security operations. This is a defining step forward for Exabeam and the industry.”

Additional Innovations in the Release

This latest platform update also introduces:

  • Business-aware risk scoring: SOC teams can now adjust detection rule severity (low to critical), reduce alert fatigue, and sharpen triage efficiency.
  • Expanded ecosystem integrations: Partnerships with Cribl and DataBahn streamline telemetry ingestion, cut data storage costs, and preserve high-fidelity logs for compliance and detection.
  • Google Cloud collaboration: By integrating agent behavior analytics, Exabeam is extending insider threat detection to AI agents, using telemetry from Google Agentspace and Google Cloud Model Armor. This strengthens defenses against hybrid insider and AI-driven risks.

Together, these capabilities make the Exabeam New-Scale Platform more intelligent, integrated, and future-ready.
