Exabeam, a global provider of security intelligence and automation, has announced a new partnership with DataBahn to help enterprises run faster, more cost-efficient security operations powered by artificial intelligence. The integration brings together the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform and DataBahn’s AI-driven data fabric to give security teams greater control over how data is collected, filtered, and stored.
Both companies say the move comes as security teams struggle with rising costs from ingesting and storing huge volumes of telemetry. Instead of locking detection systems and data pipelines into rigid and expensive paths, the new approach allows teams to route and process data upstream. DataBahn’s platform filters, enriches, and organises the telemetry before it reaches Exabeam’s system, ensuring only valuable information is analysed.
Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, said the collaboration challenges wasteful industry practices. “The industry has normalised waste; teams are forced to pay to store noise they’ll never use,” he said. “This integration flips that model. DataBahn filters out the junk, we enrich the signal, and security teams get faster, clearer threat detection without bloated costs or blind spots.”
Flexible data control and stronger detection
Unlike conventional “store everything” models, which inflate storage costs without improving detection, the joint solution takes an outcome-focused approach to data management. Exabeam’s Nova Advisor Agent and Outcomes Navigator help security teams decide what data to prioritise, while DataBahn routes it accordingly. Once in the system, Exabeam Threat Center applies behavioural analytics, risk scoring, and automated triage, allowing analysts to focus on genuine threats.
The companies highlight that this process reduces data ingestion costs while maintaining the depth needed for investigations. It also helps organisations meet compliance requirements, as long-term telemetry can be stored outside the main detection system and accessed later if needed. This flexibility avoids exceeding costly storage thresholds while preserving full data fidelity for audits or historical searches.
Aditya Sundararam, Chief Product Officer at DataBahn, said the collaboration helps remove trade-offs that have long frustrated security professionals. “For too long, security teams have been forced into false choices – visibility or budget, speed or context,” he said. “By transforming telemetry upstream with real-time filtering and enrichment, the integration with Exabeam empowers enterprises to get clearer signals from less data. Together, we’re not just reducing costs – we’re redefining how security teams unlock context, clarity, and confidence at scale.”
AI-ready pipelines for modern security needs
The combined technology is designed for the growing demands of modern security operations, where teams are expected to scale quickly without sacrificing insight or independence. AI-ready data pipelines, neutral routing, and flexible retention strategies mean security leaders can avoid vendor lock-in and adapt to changing threat landscapes.
By giving organisations better control over their data and pairing it with advanced analytics, Exabeam and DataBahn aim to help security teams operate with greater speed, efficiency, and resilience. The partnership reflects a wider industry push towards smarter, AI-driven security strategies that can manage both cost and complexity in an era of expanding cyber threats.
