As the nature of digital threats becomes increasingly all-pervasive, as a business, you want to make sure that the cybersecurity tool you choose goes the extra mile to unlock the potential of security information and event management (SIEM).

Exabeam Fusion SIEM offers a full-picture perspective of activity, events and behavioural analytics. This allows businesses to detect threats and breaches, and rapidly respond to incidents that occur in a digital environment in real-time. With Exabeam, businesses and organisations can utilise cutting-edge SIEM technology to intelligently optimise their IT security systems.

What is Exabeam Fusion SIEM?

Exabeam is a SaaS security solution that uses machine learning to observe and analyse behaviour and data to detect suspicious activity and events. This SIEM tool uses data architecture, incident timelines, intricate event details and behavioural threat hunting as part of its cybersecurity strategy.

Exabeam follows a detect, investigate and respond process. This allows for meticulous detection, interrogation of lateral movements within an organisation’s cyber environment and reduced response time when the software has determined a potentially damaging incident.

The company’s behaviour intelligence technology provides a contemporary approach to managing security operations. By focusing on suspicious behaviour and network activity, Exabeam Fusion SIEM catches digital invaders from an early stage and diminishes false positive security alerts.

Exabeam: Who is it for?

Security Leaders

With great internet growth comes great responsibility. The role of a security leader is more important than it’s ever been and will only continue to increase in value. As both a huge asset and a highly responsible part of a team, a security leader must make highly informed decisions based on the best interests of an organisation.

This cloud computing service can strengthen security leaders and their teams, helping them get the most out of their budget and resources. This powerful tool provides security leaders with the accurate analytics they need to enable them to react and strategize accordingly.

Security Analysts

The entire digital security of an organisation relies greatly on the job of a security analyst. Exabeam is a useful software tool to help empower security analysts, ensuring they perform their work to a high standard.

The deliverance of reports from Exabeam monitoring behaviour on a network provides vital information to security analysts as they overlook cyber activity through log management.

A key duty for security analysts is to prepare and respond to system threats or attacks. Exabeam allows for effective preparation by detecting unusual activity straight away and can help an organisation to actively respond to insecurities and abnormalities in the system.

Security Engineers

Exabeam Fusion SIEM has been designed to flawlessly integrate into a network’s infrastructure. Security engineers can expect a smooth migration of applications to the cloud with Exabeam, enabling them to work as efficiently as possible.

With real-time insights, this is a time-saving tool for security engineers offering substantial output. Those in the role of security engineering for an organisation can use Exabeam Fusion SIEM to enforce maximum security of computer architecture.

Exabeam for all sectors

Exabeam benefits the above roles the most, as skilled specialists who know how to work this kind of software. However, there is no organisation that can’t gain from the high level of system surveillance and critical infrastructure that this SIEM product offers.

Use cases for Exabeam Fusion SIEM

For security engineers, analysts, leaders and security teams in all sectors, Exabeam provides coverage at attack vectors, ensuring that an organisation’s SecOps utilise a comprehensive data landscape. This SIEM tool allows companies to make decisions based on reliable hard data. Below you can see four organisational use cases for Exabeam Fusion SIEM.

   1. Detecting lateral movement

Once an attacker gains access to a network, they can roam that digital space, switching IP addresses and accounts, exploring assets throughout an organisation. Lateral movement detection from Exabeam connects the dots between behaviour and movement going on within a system.

   2. SIEM with UEBA

Exabeam Fusion SIEM is used in conjunction with User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) that uses machine learning and analytics technology to detect abnormal behaviour on a system. As a next-generation SIEM tool, Exabeam combined with UEBA discovers anomalous activity in a way that traditional correlation rules don’t.

   3. Insider threat breaches

Insider threats contribute to a substantial percentage of security breaches in the digital sphere. From malicious insider threats to compromised insider threats, detection can be difficult with some security tools as the attacker is identified as a permissible user.

However, the behaviour analytics found with Exabeam Fusion SIEM can effectively and accurately detect the signs of insider threats. Incident response time to insider threats is unparalleled.

   4. GDPR compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework for Europe ensures that organisations safely and securely protect any data that they manage. Through monitoring changes to credentials, notification of data breach and log data visibility, Exabeam’s SIEM product helps organisations to follow required GDPR.

The advantages of using Exabeam as an event management platform

Exabeam provides a next-generation SIEM solution that stores crucial data resources in a cloud software repository making the lives of security teams that bit easier. An organisation will have a competitive edge with Exabeam Fusion SIEM, a tool that minimizes attackers’ point of entry, meticulously analyses behaviour and offers an extensive amount of data to security teams whenever they need it.

Detects threats missed by other tools

Security breaches are becoming increasingly elaborate and difficult to detect. Correlation rules frequently exerted by cybersecurity tools tend to generate false negatives or positives, meaning suspicious behaviour and threats are missed. Real-time information from Exabeam can discover Indicators of Compromise that may go unnoticed by other security tools.

Vast log data

Like Exabeam says, “Data is everywhere”. Through Exabeam Fusion SIEM, users can access a bank of limitless data which provides vital information on what’s happening in a system. Data resources with Exabeam are extensive and won’t have to be compromised by budget or system infrastructure. Whilst data is vast, log management is still straightforward for users.

Rapid threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR)

Organisations can automate TDIR with Exabeam Fusion SIEM, as it has response tools that are ready to deploy immediately. In some security operation centres, analysts create different approaches to try and resolve one problem. These tactics can be time-consuming and sometimes ineffective. Exabeam offers improved coverage and an enhanced security posture for an organisation’s network systems.

Smart Timelines for security analysts

Exabeam Smart Timelines help security analysts to detect and respond to threats quickly. The timelines allow detection and response for even complex cyber events.

Through a collection of logs on the Smart Timeline, analysts can save precious time and the limiting rules of correlation won’t be an issue with this SIEM product. Exabeam converts data from web applications and internal systems on the Smart Timeline into a digestible format that can be understood by security analysts.

Security event storage

The Exabeam Cloud Archive offers a long-term data storage solution for security teams to revisit when they require it. This extensive data platform enables users to access previous security events, whilst being easy to maintain and swift for permitted users to find.
