In a strategic move to address modern cybersecurity challenges, Exabeam and Vectra AI have announced their partnership. This collaboration aims to enhance threat detection capabilities and simplify security operations. The integration leverages the strengths of Exabeam’s New-Scale Security Operations Platform with Vectra AI’s advanced network detection and response strategies.
The cloud environment poses unique challenges, especially against advanced threats that move laterally. Traditional detection tools often fall short due to their on-premise focus. This inefficiency forces analysts to switch between multiple tools for a complete view, slowing down response times. To bridge this gap, Vectra AI focuses on detecting and prioritizing these lateral movements, thereby providing comprehensive insights across varied environments.
Integrating Vectra AI with Exabeam brings about centralized visibility and automated response mechanisms. This alliance aims to streamline investigations by reducing manual oversight and enhancing security outcomes. Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, noted, “Teaming up with Vectra AI, isn’t just a partnership, it’s a power move. We need to shift the balance in cybersecurity, putting defenders back in control.”
Several benefits are anticipated. Firstly, threat detection speeds up by centralizing security data and automating processes. Secondly, improved visibility from network-based analytics helps in identifying even concealed threats, such as insider threats. Finally, the integration features simplify deployment, minimizing operational burdens on security teams.
Jeff Reed, Chief Product Officer at Vectra AI, explained, “By integrating Vectra AI’s advanced NDR with Exabeam’s powerful SIEM and automation capabilities, we’re empowering teams with a unified, intelligent platform to quickly identify, investigate, and stop threats before they escalate.”
