Exabeam, a global leader in intelligence and automation that powers security operations, and Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, have evolved their strategic partnership to eliminate the trade-off between cost and visibility in threat detection. This integration combines the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform with Cribl Stream, enabling organizations to ingest and prioritize high-fidelity data, optimize storage costs, and search historical data on demand. Building on their 2023 collaboration, the enhancements focus on outcome-driven data strategies that support business-critical use cases and MITRE ATT&CK coverage.
At the core of this evolved partnership are Exabeam Outcomes Navigator and the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent, which assist customers in pinpointing data sources that deliver the most significant security outcomes. Cribl then directs this prioritized data into the Exabeam New-Scale Platform, where it is converted into AI-driven detections and threat timelines to facilitate investigations. This approach ensures that ingested logs align with essential security needs, avoiding compromises on visibility or efficiency. Meanwhile, less critical data is redirected to economical storage solutions, maintaining searchability for compliance and forensic purposes.
Unlike traditional SIEMs, Exabeam delivers the behavioral analytics required to uncover subtle threats, including insider risks. The fusion of Exabeam's advanced threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) features with Cribl's versatile data pipeline management enhances security team productivity and aligns with strategic goals in cybersecurity.
“One of the differentiated strengths of the New-Scale Platform is the AI we provide powered through the data we ingest,” said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. “Working with Exabeam, Cribl helps our customers achieve two important goals, delivering the data to support strategic security outcomes, and controlling cost. This partnership gives security teams the clarity, control, and confidence to detect real threats faster and outpace adversaries with precision.”
The Exabeam-Cribl partnership offers targeted data ingestion, focusing solely on strategic, high-fidelity inputs essential for core security use cases. It accelerates platform adoption by reducing downtime and migration challenges during transitions to the New-Scale Platform. Flexible data routing allows seamless movement to and from any security tool without additional agents or infrastructure. Long-term storage optimization lets customers use their preferred storage or cloud options at lower costs, preserving compliance and search capabilities. Historical search and replay support forensic investigations and audits over extended periods at reduced expenses compared to conventional SIEM storage. Data filtering removes noisy or low-value logs, improving SIEM performance, cutting costs, and freeing analyst resources.
“An effective threat detection, investigation, and response strategy starts with clean, high-value, AI-ready data, because better data leads to better decisions, faster investigations, and stronger defenses,” said Vlad Melnik, Vice President, Global Alliances at Cribl. “By combining Cribl’s flexible data routing and shaping capabilities with behavioral analytics and automation from Exabeam, we’re enabling customers to streamline SIEM data ingestion, achieve their security goals more efficiently, and fuel their AI-powered SIEM. It’s a smarter, more sustainable path to cyber resilience.”
This collaboration empowers organizations to build scalable, high-fidelity threat detection systems through next-generation data pipelines, decoupling security effectiveness from data volume and fostering resilient operations in an evolving threat landscape.
