Exabeam extends AI threat analytics into Google Security

Exabeam has been named a Google Unified Security Recommended designated partner, becoming the fifth business to receive the status.

It is also extending its Behaviour Intelligence platform into Google Security Operations, allowing joint customers to share data between the two systems without moving it into a separate analytics environment.

The designation places Exabeam among a small group of security software partners endorsed by Google for integration with its security platform. The new link with Google Security Operations is intended to give security teams more direct visibility into insider threats across both human users and AI agents.

Pete Harteveld, Chief Executive Officer at Exabeam, said the shift towards AI agents in the workplace is changing how companies need to approach internal risk.

"The rise of AI agents is fundamentally changing how work gets done and how organisations need to think about risk," said Pete Harteveld, Chief Executive Officer at Exabeam.

"By collaborating with Google Cloud, a trusted partner in helping customers modernise security operations, we can give enterprises the visibility and context needed to detect human and non-human insider threats earlier, accelerate investigation and response, and confidently secure the agentic enterprise."

AI identities

The tie-up reflects a broader shift in cyber security as companies deploy software agents that can access systems, trigger tools, carry out workflows and make decisions with growing autonomy. That has created a new category of internal risk for security teams that have traditionally focused on monitoring human behaviour.

Exabeam argues that many existing security products were not built to track or investigate the behaviour of non-human identities operating at machine speed. By applying its analytics within Google Security Operations, customers can analyse behaviour across both employee and AI-driven identities in one environment.

Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, said AI agents are now digital workers that require the same oversight as staff accounts and other human users.

"As AI agents have become digital workers inside enterprise environments, organisations must now secure and govern both human and non-human identities with the same level of oversight," said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam.

"Bringing Exabeam Behaviour Intelligence directly into Google Security Operations helps organisations reduce complexity, prioritise the threats that matter most, and respond faster to insider risk - no matter where it originates."

Shared platform

Both Exabeam's New-Scale Security Operations Platform and Google Security Operations run on Google Cloud. That shared foundation means customers can apply behavioural analytics directly to information already held in Google's system rather than exporting it to a separate tool.

The approach is intended to reduce operational steps and the cost of maintaining another analytics environment. It also lets security teams investigate alerts and suspicious activity within the same setting used for broader security monitoring.

Exabeam said the combined set-up helps teams identify higher-risk activity earlier, cut false positives and improve the prioritisation of investigations across human and non-human identities. In validation testing carried out by Exabeam, organisations improved threat detection, investigation and response workflows by up to 80%.

Marketplace route

The product is available to Google Security Operations customers through Google Cloud Marketplace. Eligible purchases can count towards existing Google Cloud spending commitments, which may make deployment simpler for customers already buying cloud services through Google.

Google also commented on the marketplace listing.

"Bringing Exabeam New-Scale Analytics to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy and manage the solution on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programmes at Google Cloud.

"Exabeam can now securely scale and support customers that want to use its advanced behavioral analytics to improve threat detection."

The announcement highlights the growing commercial focus on user and entity behaviour analytics as security vendors adapt their products to environments where software agents act with increasing independence. Exabeam said it serves more than 3,000 enterprise customers worldwide.
