Exabeam Renews Partner Program
Exabeam has unveiled the Exabeam APEX Partner Program, a modernized, partner-informed global channel initiative built to meet the evolving demands of today's cybersecurity landscape. As a channel-first company, Exabeam has consistently evolved its partner program over time to meet the ongoing needs of its business partners. Far more than a channel refresh, the new Exabeam APEX Partner Program is a bold step forward, directly addressing persistent industry frustrations around rigid tiering, limited autonomy, and inconsistent regional support. It reflects insights gathered from a Voice of the Partner survey, one-on-one interviews, and post-merger insights which underscore the long-term commitment Exabeam has to transparency, enablement, and shared success. 'At Exabeam, we're committed to delivering a partner experience that's modern, meaningful, and built to last,' said Craig Patterson, Global Channel Chief at Exabeam. 'Too many programs in the market are rigid, complex, and disconnected from what partners actually need. We listened, and we built something different. APEX prioritizes competency over contracts, enablement over transactions, and collaboration over assumptions. With 97% of our business running through the channel, this is a structural reinvention, co-designed with partners to deliver measurable value, real-world impact, and long-term growth.' By eliminating legacy obstacles and overcomplicated processes, the Exabeam APEX Partner Program empowers partners with greater flexibility, faster onboarding, and deeper collaboration. Its streamlined, competency-based framework simplifies licensing, improving margins, and enables a faster, more equitable path to value in a competitive cybersecurity market. 'We believe the best outcomes are achieved with customer-obsessed partners, by design,' said Chris O'Malley, CEO at Exabeam. 'The Exabeam APEX Partner Program represents more than a relaunch — it's a renewed commitment to being a truly partner-first company in best serving customers. We are leaning in, investing in our partners, and working shoulder-to-shoulder to extend our reach, accelerate time to value, and drive success for our customers.' Listening, Learning, and Delivering for the Channel In preparation for the launch of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program, Exabeam launched its global Voice of the Partner survey in Q1 2025 to identify the specific needs of VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs around the world. The insights received shaped a persona-driven program with clear enablement paths, simplified structures, and meaningful regional adaptability. Building on those insights, Exabeam is also introducing two new routes to market: Technology Solution Distributors (TSDs) and a dedicated referral track for consultants, advisors, and ecosystem alliances. A key evolution of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program is the shift to a competency-based tiering model that rewards performance, not just sales volume. According to the Voice of the Partner survey, 27% of partners ranked training, certifications, and business development as their top priorities, nearly double the 14% who cited incentives and rebates. The new program reflects this shift, aligning advancement with strategic enablement and technical expertise, and delivering a transparent, achievable path to greater opportunities. Key elements of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program include: Flexible, Competency-Based Tiering: Advancement is earned through certifications, specializations, and customer success, not arbitrary revenue thresholds. Clear, Predictable Incentives: Starting discounts, stackable rebates, and commitment accelerators drive profitability and reward investment. Simplified Onboarding and Pricing: Streamlined processes that reduce friction and boost partner profitability. Revamped Role-Based Enablement: Training and certifications aligned with the Exabeam product roadmap to accelerate time-to-value and support innovation. Integrated Go-to-Market Alignment: Enhanced collaboration across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Support ensures a consistent and scalable partner experience. Global Alignment with Local Flexibility: Regions can add or waive requirements based on local market realities, while maintaining consistency in structure and benefits

Exabeam Introduces First Cybersecurity Strategy Agent For SOC Leadership
Exabeam has announced a major expansion of its integrated multi-agent AI system Exabeam Nova that now equips security leaders with a real-time strategic planning engine and boardroom communication tool. The Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent is the industry's first AI capability designed to turn security data into a strategy that CISOs can defend in the boardroom. Translating complex security metrics into business-relevant terms has been a long-standing challenge, making it difficult to demonstrate risk reduction, prove the value of security investments, and show measurable progress. The new Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent solves that problem. Exabeam Nova is now the only agentic AI that empowers security leaders to: Build Strategic Plans: Automatically generate data-backed roadmaps using daily posture assessments, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, and organizational security data.

'AI in cybersecurity has been mostly about analyzing and responding to alerts, but that's not enough anymore,' said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. 'Exabeam Nova has expanded to become something larger. It's the first and only AI system that includes an agent built for the CISO. Exabeam Nova doesn't just tell security leaders where they stand, it diagnoses where they're at-risk, maps a plan to improve, and arms leaders with the facts to explain decisions to their executive team and board.' 'We're more focused than ever on delivering intelligent, outcomes-driven security solutions that scale with today's threats, and anticipate tomorrow's,' said Chris O'Malley, CEO of Exabeam. 'Security teams are woefully underfunded and asked to do more with less, yet threats continue to multiply. Exabeam Nova is creating a historic shift in how SOCs operate — moving from reactive alert chasing to strategic process optimization. What we're hearing from customers is clear: they trust Exabeam Nova. It's accurate, reliable, and delivers the real, measurable outcomes they've been waiting for.' With the addition of the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent, Exabeam Nova now includes six agents purpose-built to automate decisions, streamline investigations, and deliver continuous benchmarking of program effectiveness with clear, prioritized recommendations to drive improvement. Embedded into the foundation of the New-Scale Security Operations Platform, Exabeam Nova is deeply integrated into the complete threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) workflow. Unlike vendors that bolt AI onto outdated infrastructure, Exabeam Nova was developed from the ground up as a coordinated system of agents, each aligned to a real-world SOC function to increase productivity and efficiency. Delivering Meaningful Value for Customers Within 90 days of launch, Exabeam Nova users report five-times faster investigations with improved accuracy. Users overwhelmingly cite the ability to work smarter and prove the business impact of their security programs as Exabeam Nova's greatest value. 'What really sets Exabeam Nova apart is how seamlessly the AI agents work together,' said Joep Kremer, Business Unit Director Cyber Security at ilionx. 'From the moment an alert comes in, the case investigator builds a summary, the assistant helps us dig deeper, and the advisor shows how it all ties back to our overall posture. We can search in plain language, visualize trends instantly, and act on clear, prioritized insights — all in one platform. It's like having a full team of experts working behind the scenes to keep us fast, focused, and aligned. Exabeam Nova isn't just smart it is a game-changer for our SOC.' 'We have been very happy with Exabeam's openness to feature feedback, the quick release rates of new features and the overall usefulness and quality of those features,' said David Andrews, Tat Extreme Networks. 'The new SIEM Security Coverage Analysis Report from the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent,for example, has allowed us to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in our alerting while also providing recommendations on making better use of our log sources.'

Exabeam Nova unveils AI agent to empower CISOs with insights
Exabeam has announced an expansion of its Exabeam Nova platform, introducing a new AI-based capability designed to support security leaders in strategic planning and communication with executive teams. The latest addition to Exabeam Nova is the Advisor Agent, described as the first artificial intelligence solution aimed at transforming complex security data into strategic insights that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) can present in the boardroom. This addresses a long-standing challenge for CISOs who have struggled to present security metrics in business terms capable of justifying risk reduction efforts and security investments to senior leadership and board members. New AI agent for security strategy According to Exabeam, the Nova Advisor Agent facilitates the automatic generation of data-backed strategic plans based on daily security posture assessments, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, and organisational data. The agent also produces summaries tailored for executive and board presentations, reframing technical details in terms of business consequences, expected outcomes, and return on investment. In addition to strategic planning and reporting, the agent is said to help security teams identify and prioritise gaps in security, such as missing log sources or ineffective threat detection. It also enables what-if analyses to model the effect of proposed security improvements and tools, and provides day-to-day benchmarking to monitor progress and support alignment with organisational objectives. Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, said: "AI in cybersecurity has been mostly about analysing and responding to alerts, but that's not enough anymore. Exabeam Nova has expanded to become something larger. It's the first and only AI system that includes an agent built for the CISO. Exabeam Nova doesn't just tell security leaders where they stand, it diagnoses where they're at-risk, maps a plan to improve, and arms leaders with the facts to explain decisions to their executive team and board." Chris O'Malley, Chief Executive Officer at Exabeam, commented further: "We're more focused than ever on delivering intelligent, outcomes-driven security solutions that scale with today's threats, and anticipate tomorrow's.

Exabeam Nova is creating a historic shift in how SOCs operate — moving from reactive alert chasing to strategic process optimization. What we're hearing from customers is clear: they trust Exabeam Nova. It's accurate, reliable, and delivers the real, measurable outcomes they've been waiting for." Capabilities and workflow integration The updated Nova system now comprises six agents, each aimed at automating decision-making, streamlining investigations, and providing ongoing assessments of a security programme's effectiveness. These agents are integrated into the wider Exabeam threat detection, investigation, and response workflow, which the company states was developed as a coordinated system, rather than as disparate features. Unlike some providers that have added AI to existing platforms, Exabeam indicates that Nova was designed from inception to function as an orchestrated group of agents, each mapping to a specific Security Operations Centre (SOC) task to enhance productivity. Customer perspectives The company reports that within 90 days of Exabeam Nova's launch, users experienced investigation speeds five times faster than before, with improved accuracy. Feedback from customers highlighted the usefulness in substantiating the business impact of security initiatives using the platform. Joep Kremer, Business Unit Director Cyber Security at ilionx, said: "What really sets Exabeam Nova apart is how seamlessly the AI agents work together. From the moment an alert comes in, the case investigator builds a summary, the assistant helps us dig deeper, and the advisor shows how it all ties back to our overall posture.

The new SIEM Security Coverage Analysis Report from the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent, for example, has allowed us to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in our alerting while also providing recommendations on making better use of our log sources." A Head of Security at a finance firm offered similar comments: "What sets Exabeam apart is their ability to truly listen to customer needs and move fast to deliver solutions that solve our challenges. Their level of technical expertise and responsiveness is hard to find in this industry. They are building and delivering a roadmap that reflects what security teams actually need to be successful today. Everything about the New-Scale Platform enables us to take action. While other tools get stuck in endless investigation, Exabeam empowers us to move quickly and make decisions confidently. That's exactly why I chose Exabeam and why I continue to work with them. They don't just promise innovation -- they deliver it, quickly, and with purpose." Follow us on: Share on:

Cybercriminals harness AI to boost phishing & malware attacks
New research has brought to light the growing use of artificial intelligence tools by cybercriminals behind lesser-known ransomware and malware attacks, highlighting a swiftly evolving threat landscape. The investigations indicate that small cybercriminal groups, including CyberLock, Lucky_Gh0$t, and Numero, have harnessed AI capabilities both to develop more persistent malware and to trick users into downloading malicious payloads. The study outlines how these criminal organisations are adopting AI-driven lures to infect unsuspecting victims, departing from traditional manual techniques in favour of automated, highly convincing fraud. The proliferation of new, seemingly innovative AI services has created opportunities for attackers to blend fraudulent tools with legitimate ones, making it more difficult for individuals and organisations to distinguish between benign and malicious actors online. Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, explained the nuances of these new threats. "While AI delivers massive benefits to security teams, we must stay open-eyed about the risks in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape. The recent wave of cybercriminals exploiting AI hype underscores the importance of vigilance," Wilson said. He added, "In some ways, these incidents are classic phishing scams repackaged, but AI puts a concerning new spin on them." Wilson points to two significant risk factors. "First, the sheer excitement and constant emergence of new AI tools mean users are increasingly comfortable trying services from unknown vendors, blurring the lines between legitimate new solutions and malicious impostors. Second, AI technology itself makes it alarmingly easy to craft high-quality counterfeit websites and sophisticated phishing campaigns. Attackers can now mimic authentic brands with unprecedented realism, greatly increasing their chances of success." For users, this evolving threat means that caution is more critical than ever. Wilson cautioned: "Both individuals and organizations must ramp up their vigilance. Users should approach new AI services with scepticism and heightened awareness, carefully verifying legitimacy before engaging. Meanwhile, corporate defenders need to proactively adopt advanced detection tools and modern techniques tailored to counter these AI-enhanced threats. Staying ahead demands constant vigilance and aggressive adaptation." Mike Mitchell, National Cyber Security Consultant at AltTab, echoed these concerns while highlighting the double-edged sword AI presents for the sector. "AI is transforming the world of cyber security, acting as both an ally and a rising threat. On defence teams, AI helps detect and respond to attacks faster by automating tasks like threat hunting, alert triage, and incident response. But attackers are also using AI to launch smarter sophisticated phishing campaigns, automating attacks, and bypassing traditional defences," he said. "This has created a constant race between offensive and defensive innovation." Mitchell emphasised the importance of responsible use and adaption. "As AI agents become more advanced, the focus must shift to ethical use, responsible adoption and strengthening human-AI collaboration. One thing is certain; the future of cyber security is intrinsically linked with the evolution of AI and staying ahead means we must continue to adapt quickly." The findings reflect broader concerns within the cybersecurity community regarding the unpredictable consequences of fast-moving innovation in AI. As both attackers and defenders race to leverage the latest tools, organisations of every size are being urged to educate their users, refine their detection and response protocols, and remain vigilant when navigating the crowded field of AI-enabled products and services. Industry leaders recommend a cautious, informed approach to all new digital tools, particularly those involving AI. By staying alert to the latest tactics employed by cybercriminals, and investing in advanced defence strategies, businesses and individuals can help to reduce their exposure to the next wave of AI-powered threats.
