In summary

  • Exabeam has expanded its New-Scale Security Operations Platform with new capabilities to detect, investigate and reduce risk from AI agents.
  • Outcomes Navigator now maps detections to the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI, while Exabeam Nova Rules Creator lets teams build rules using natural language.
  • Exabeam also announced Observra, a new open source telemetry layer for AI agents that joins Praxen to give organisations a full-lifecycle approach to AI agent security.

Exabeam has released a set of new capabilities designed to help security teams detect, investigate and reduce risk from AI agents and autonomous workflows across enterprise environments.

The release expands several components of the company's New-Scale Security Operations Platform, including Agent Behavior Analytics (ABA), Outcomes Navigator, Exabeam Nova, Threat Center and Attack Surface Insights, along with search and data collection workflows.

New AI and agent-related behavioural detections double total AI-focused coverage to 90, targeting anomalous human-to-agent interactions, suspicious prompt behaviour, unusual tool invocations, shadow AI activity and Denial of Wallet indicators.

Anthropic Claude also joins the existing list of monitored platforms, which includes OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot.

Outcomes Navigator now maps detections to the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI, letting security teams identify coverage gaps as AI adoption expands, while Exabeam Nova Rules Creator lets teams build and tune rules using natural language and supports conversion from Sigma rules. 

Additions to improve day-to-day SOC operations include phishing email ingest, Attack Surface Insights enhancements, new cloud collectors, custom REST API context collection and dashboard and search improvements.

Alongside the platform release, Exabeam announced Observra, a new open source project that provides a telemetry layer for AI agents. It captures agent activity across major frameworks, normalises it into consumable events, and enriches it with cost, redaction, deduplication and risk signals before routing data to any security operations platform.

Observra joins Praxen, an open source project Exabeam released earlier to support Agent Behavior Verification (ABV) - helping verify that agents are properly configured, authorised and governed before deployment.

The company said the two projects, combined with ABA, are intended to give organisations a full-lifecycle approach to AI agent security: verify, observe, analyse and improve.

"Organisations are rapidly moving from AI experimentation to autonomous AI agents operating across the enterprise," said Pete Harteveld, chief executive at Exabeam.

"Security teams need visibility not only into human activity, but into how agents behave, interact, and make decisions. Exabeam is helping customers secure this new reality by bringing together AI visibility, behavioural analytics, and threat detection across human users, AI agents, and the systems they interact with.”

The release also expands LogRhythm SIEM ecosystem coverage with new and enhanced integrations across Microsoft, cloud, identity, email and security technologies.
