Security intelligence and management solutions company Exabeam Inc. today announced a new release that extends its security analytics platform to address the growing risks of enterprise artificial intelligence usage and AI agent activity.

The new release extends the company’s user and entity behavior analytics to bring together AI agent behavior analytics, unified timeline-driven investigation of AI activity and posture visibility for AI agent security. With the release, Exabeam says, it now delivers the essential capabilities organizations need to understand and safely accelerate their use of AI.

The rise of AI in 2025 and the advent of AI agents means enterprises are seeing AI agents share sensitive data, override internal policies and make unsanctioned changes without visibility into who authorized the action or why it occurred.

The latest release advances Exabeam’s previously released capabilities to detect AI agent behavior by placing AI agent behavior analytics at the center of how security teams detect and investigate AI-related activity. The release unifies AI investigations and strengthens the ability to assess security posture around AI usage and agent activity, supported by clear maturity tracking, targeted recommendations and enhanced data and analytics to accurately model emerging agent behaviors.

The capabilities are designed to give security leaders a structured, measurable foundation to understand AI activity, accelerate investigations and continually improve their defenses as agent adoption rapidly grows.

“Securing the use of AI and AI agent behavior requires more than brittle guardrails; it requires understanding what normal behavior looks like for agents and having the ability to detect risky deviations,” said Steve Wilson, chief AI and product officer at Exabeam. “Exabeam is the first to apply user and entity behavior analytics to AI agents and this release further extends that agent behavior analytics leadership.”

The capabilities give security teams the behavioral insight they need to identify risk early, investigate AI agent activity quickly and continuously strengthen resilience as AI usage and agents become integral to enterprise workflows.

“Executives need clear insight into AI agent behavior and an understanding of whether their security posture is strong enough to support safe adoption,” added Wilson. “These new capabilities from Exabeam provide that insight and give organizations a path to continuously improve, ensuring we protect our customers, their customers and the broader ecosystem from emerging AI-driven threats.”

Exabeam also noted that the launch underscores a growing realization in the industry that traditional tools built for static users and devices can’t manage AI’s dynamic, decision-making entities. The company predicts that analysts should expect AI agent oversight to become a core security category by 2026, sitting alongside identity, cloud and data protection.
