Exabeam, a global leader in intelligence and automation for security operations, has announced the launch of a new benchmarking tool designed to give organisations a proactive edge in protecting data and digital assets. The new feature, built into Exabeam Nova, marks a step forward in helping security teams defend businesses and individuals from increasingly complex cyber threats.
For the first time, security leaders can anonymously compare their organisation’s cyber defences against similar companies by industry, region, and size. By offering this context, Exabeam enables security teams to identify weaknesses, justify investments, and strengthen protections. The ripple effect is stronger safeguards for customer data, safer online interactions, and improved trust for everyday digital users.
The tool is powered by the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent, which analyses threat detection data to measure performance against recognised global frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK®. It then delivers real-time scores that show where improvements are needed and how organisations stack up against peers.
“Security teams are done playing defence. With this release, we are giving them the tools to go on offence,” said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. “We have turned benchmarking into operational data that drives smarter decisions, tighter coverage, and faster action.”
Chris O’Malley, Chief Executive Officer at Exabeam, added: “We are not innovating for the sake of headlines. We are building capabilities that solve the hardest challenges security leaders face. With benchmarking now embedded into Exabeam Nova, we are empowering our customers to lead with data and operate with clarity and confidence.”
The update also introduces business-aware risk scoring, which helps security teams prioritise threats by their actual impact. This reduces unnecessary alerts and ensures experts focus on risks that could most affect people and organisations.
Exabeam has also expanded its partnerships with Cribl, DataBahn, and Google Cloud. These collaborations streamline data processing, improve insider threat detection, and prepare companies for the emerging risks posed by artificial intelligence agents.
For customers, partners, and ultimately end-users, the innovation means more resilient defences and a safer online experience. As organisations strengthen their ability to spot and stop threats, individuals benefit from greater confidence that their personal information is better protected in an increasingly digital world.
