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.

Now more than ever, insider threats and compromised devices pose a significant challenge to organizations. Whether it’s a malicious insider exfiltrating sensitive data or an endpoint infected with advanced malware, these threats are often difficult to detect using conventional security tools. According to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Report by Ponemon Institute, insider threats cost organizations an average of $15.4 million per incident, and incidents take an average of 85 days to contain.

The cybersecurity industry is facing a new challenge: AI-generated attacks. With the rapid advancement of generative AI, cybercriminals now have access to sophisticated tools that enable them to craft highly targeted attacks with minimal technical expertise. Unlike traditional attack methods that require deep programming knowledge, AI-driven attacks allow even non-technical malicious actors to create malware, exploit scripts, and launch phishing campaigns with ease.

When running a cybersecurity operation for an organization, there are numerous competing priorities—and the CISO is responsible for striking an intricate balance between them. Of course, the overall security posture is imperative, as are the organization’s broader business objectives. The CISO has to determine the organization’s tolerance for risk, while simultaneously understanding the most essential security use cases for the business and establishing protections for them.

Which approach provides superior cybersecurity: a single-vendor platform portfolio or a multivendor best-of-breed ecosystem? Superficially, single-vendor platforms seem to have various advantages: But take a closer look, and glaring gaps appear. Multiple, headline-grabbing security incidents have involved large platform players, and if you’re a seasoned cybersecurity leader, you should consider the risks associated with putting all your eggs in one basket.

Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and stealthier. Their methods are more advanced. Of these advanced methods, living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks are the sneakiest and most effective. By using legitimate tools and processes already in your environment, malicious actors can get what they want without being seen. But with the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform and our industry leading user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), security teams can stop them.

In the fast-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, interoperability and automation are the keys to staying ahead of ever-increasing threats. That’s why Exabeam support for the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) for its Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) capabilities, revolutionizing security operations. Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform is the first SOC platform to support OAS.
