Imagine a world-class chess grandmaster playing multiple opponents at once—anticipating moves, spotting patterns, and staying steps ahead of every competitor. Now, imagine if that grandmaster had an AI-powered assistant, constantly analyzing past games, predicting threats, and offering guidance in real time. That is what Exabeam is bringing to security operations.

In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, every detail matters — including the name of the technology designed to uplevel SOC teams to protect their organizations from ever-growing, ever-evolving threats. Naming isn’t just about branding; it’s about capturing purpose, function, and vision.

Like every industry, the manufacturing sector has embraced digital transformation to improve operations. Digital manufacturing uses technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data analytics, and cloud computing to improve production processes and gain efficiencies. With businesses increasingly embracing digital transformation, they face the challenge of securing interconnected systems.

Attackers thrive in the shadows, using MITRE ATT&CK T1564 - Hide Artifacts to cloak their presence with hidden files, concealed processes, and manipulated registry keys. These stealth tactics allow adversaries to evade detection, persist undetected, and escalate their access — all while quietly exfiltrating data or disrupting operations. Imagine files, processes, and even user accounts disappearing in your environment without a trace.

In cybersecurity, the adage “what’s old is new” continues to hold true as attackers resurface longstanding techniques or repurpose them with new twists and adaptations. The popularization of Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) — legitimate, Windows-native tools commonly abused for malicious uses — is a great example of this.

According to the Exabeam State of Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response Report, global cybersecurity spending is projected to grow from $92 billion in 2022 to over $170 billion by 2027, pushing security teams to invest in solutions that enhance threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). Many organizations have relied on on-premises security information and event management (SIEM) solutions for threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance.
