Exabeam
Behavior intelligence and AI-driven threat detection, investigation and response for the agentic enterprise
By Exabeam · HQ Foster City, US · 4.2/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Enterprise security operations centers (SOCs) that want SIEM plus user and entity behavior analytics in one platform
- Organizations that must detect insider risk from both human employees and autonomous AI agents
- Security teams facing GDPR, PCI DSS or SOX reporting and audit-evidence obligations
- Teams that want to augment an existing SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar) rather than rip and replace it
- Cloud-first or hybrid estates that need flexible data residency and low-cost long-term data storage
Ideal size: Enterprise SOC (5+ analysts) people · Mature security operations with an established SOC and log pipeline
Not for
- Small businesses without a dedicated security team or SOC
- Buyers who require published, self-serve or per-seat pricing before a sales conversation
- Companies looking for a lightweight tool with no data-onboarding or content-tuning effort
- Organizations wanting a fully outsourced managed security service rather than a platform they operate

Bottom line
Exabeam is a security operations platform combining SIEM, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and Agent Behavior Analytics for human and AI-agent insider risk. Founded in 2013 and merged with LogRhythm in 2024, it sells to enterprise SOC teams as an open, best-of-breed layer that augments existing SIEMs such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel. Pricing is quote-based. Differentiators include multi-agent AI for detection, investigation and response, behavioral risk scoring, and GDPR, PCI DSS and SOX compliance coverage reporting.
Frequently asked questions
What does Exabeam actually do?
Exabeam is a security operations platform: security log management and SIEM, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and the newer Agent Behavior Analytics for AI agents. It baselines activity for users, devices and agents, assigns dynamic risk scores, builds machine-generated timelines for investigations, and uses multi-agent AI to streamline detection, investigation and response. It also ships compliance coverage scoring and reporting for GDPR, PCI DSS and SOX.
How is Exabeam priced and licensed?
Exabeam does not publish pricing. It sells quote-based annual enterprise subscriptions through its direct sales team and the APEX partner programme, and no starting price, seat tier, add-on list or implementation fee appears on the vendor site. Expect a custom quote and a paid professional-services component for deployment, so budget comparison should be done through a scoped proof of value rather than list pricing.
Does Exabeam replace our existing SIEM?
Not necessarily. Exabeam explicitly supports augmentation: the integrations page says many customers feed data from Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, OpenText ArcSight, McAfee Nitro, Sumo Logic and Google Cloud Pub/Sub into Exabeam for UEBA and TDIR workflows. That lets a team add behavioral analytics and automated investigations without re-training analysts or abandoning existing log investments.
Which compliance frameworks does Exabeam support?
Exabeam states it holds ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications, a SOC 2 Type II report, an IRAP assessment at PROTECTED level, appropriate technical and organizational measures for GDPR, and compliance with the EU-U.S., UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks. The platform adds coverage scores and prebuilt reporting for GDPR, PCI DSS and SOX.
How is customer data handled and where is it hosted?
Exabeam runs a multi-tenant cloud architecture with tenant data isolation, AES-256 encryption of certain data types in transit and at rest, universal role-based access control with custom roles, configurable data retention and data masking in the UI. Cloud-delivered services are globally available so customers can satisfy data residency requirements, and the vendor publishes 99.9% data upload and 99.5% product access availability SLAs.
How long does implementation take?
Exabeam does not publish an implementation timeline. It advertises over 9,500 pre-built log parsers, hundreds of vendor integrations, source onboarding in minutes and monthly cloud releases, which reduce the effort of connecting data. Enterprise SOC deployments with behavioral use-case tuning normally still involve a professional-services engagement, so plan for a phased rollout rather than a same-week go-live.
