Security intelligence and management solutions company Exabeam Inc. today announced new capabilities in the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent and Outcomes Navigator.

The features allow security leaders to compare their security posture anonymously against similar organizations based on configurable parameters like industry, region and company size. The release is designed to help security teams prioritize resources, justify investments, prove value and align operational execution with strategic goals.

The embedded benchmarking capability analyzes threat detection telemetry and configuration data to assess coverage across MITRE ATT&CK techniques and real-world use cases. Then it compares performance against peer organizations to deliver continuously updated scores that reflect security operations maturity. Doing so allows security operations center teams to identify coverage gaps, prioritize where to improve detection coverage and assist with assembling leadership-ready updates.

“This release reflects our unbridled commitment to innovation that delivers real, measurable value for our customers,” said Chief Executive Chris O’Malley. “With benchmarking now embedded into Exabeam Nova, we’re empowering our customers to lead with data, drive strategic outcomes and operate with clarity and confidence.”

The new release also introduces business-aware risk scoring that allows SOC teams to prioritize threats based on real organizational impact. The risk scoring allows security teams to reduce alert fatigue, improve triage accuracy and focus analyst attention where it matters most by customizing detection rule severity — low, medium, high or critical.

The releases are complemented by recent partnerships Exabeam has established with Cribl Inc. and DataBahn Inc. to enable organizations to streamline telemetry ingestion, reduce search and storage costs and retain full-fidelity data for detection and compliance.

The company has also expanded its collaboration with Google Cloud for agent behavior analytics that brings insider threat detection to artificial intelligence agents using telemetry from Google Agentspace and Google Cloud Model Armor. The functionality allows organizations to monitor digital insiders and defend against a new generation of hybrid threats.

Exabeam is a venture capital-backed company that has raised $390 million over seven rounds, including rounds of $30 million in February 2017, $50 million in August 2018, $75 million in May 2019 and $200 million on a $2.4 billion valuation in June 2021.

Investors in the company include Acrew Capital Management, Lightspeed Venture Partners LP, Norwest Venture Partners LP, Icom Ventures, Blue Own, Aspect Ventures, Sapphire Ventures and Cisco Investments.
