As a SIEM tool for investigations, Exabeam is the best in class. The AI assigns numeric values to observed logs them presents high scores to the analyst in a simple dashboard. We can see what is a real threat and ignore so many false positives. Exabeam is the best SIEM was used from an alert fatigue perspective. The simple interface allows other teams not just InfoSec to utilize the tool; helpdesk for asset diagnoses, HR for staffing questions, etc.

Well suited to the following: 1. Data-Driven Analytics. I cannot stress that enough. It has been transformational in the way we are able to accomplish tasks and analyze large amounts of information. 2. Connect-The-Dots methodology. I have found it incredibly adept in allowing new information to be used in tandem with already-known info. 3. This is the icing on the cake and what I had originally set out to accomplish - IRIS has made it possible - Generative AI that uses verified data science to provide insights and expedite our advancement by performing experiments yielding real-world positive results. This has significantly reduced the time it takes for technology to be ready and marketable, reduces the workload, and saves a tremendous amount of money in the long run by allowing our discoveries to be 3 weeks away instead of 30 years. In contrast, scenarios where it is less appropriate are in nearly identical company when it comes to my third point (A double-edged sword, if you will.) We have a responsibility to ensure that this technology is used for a positive outcome and "Future:Forward" approach. This is the mark of true Evolution. It's up to us to keep it so.

Cons
Exabeam
  • More and better drop-down menus, some items in threat hunter require you know subsets.
  • Less dashboards, combine AA and DL without having separate logins.
  • More complete playbooks are already built out. You have the structure set up for templates like malware and phishing, go further and completely build them out from start to finish, most companies would just use them and not personalize their configurations.
  • Quarterly health checkup diagnostics of systems sent out to users.
