Exabeam, known for its intelligence-driven security operations solutions, has partnered with Vectra AI, a cybersecurity company focused on using AI to detect advanced threats. The collaboration brings together the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform — including its SIEM, UEBA, and automated workflows — with the Vectra AI Platform, which delivers network detection and response (NDR) capabilities.
This integration addresses a critical challenge facing many security operations centres (SOCs): identifying threats that move laterally across cloud environments. Traditional tools, often designed for on-premises infrastructure, lack the ability to monitor these movements effectively. As a result, security analysts are forced to manually switch between multiple disconnected systems during investigations, leading to slower response times and increased workloads.
By integrating with Exabeam, Vectra AI’s detection engine now enables analysts to identify lateral movements by attackers across data centre, campus, remote work, cloud, and operational technology environments. The partnership gives SOCs centralised visibility and automated responses, helping to improve security outcomes with less manual effort.
A smarter, AI-driven approach to defence
Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, said the collaboration is about more than just interoperability. “Teaming up with Vectra AI isn’t just a partnership, it’s a power move. We need to shift the balance in cybersecurity, putting defenders back in control. With their cloud threat intel and our AI-driven platform, we’re exposing the threats others miss and flipping the script on what modern threat detection looks like.”
The unified platform is designed to streamline investigations and enhance visibility. Analysts will be able to consolidate data from different sources and rely on automated workflows across their security stack, significantly reducing the time taken to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents. According to both companies, the integration improves the ability to detect insider threats, lateral movement, and post-compromise activities — areas where legacy tools often fall short.
Deployment is also made easier with prebuilt configurations, such as a Vectra AI dashboard tile and webhook collectors, helping reduce the operational burden on security teams.
Responding to the evolving threat landscape
Jeff Reed, Chief Product Officer at Vectra AI, said the rise of sophisticated attacks requires smarter tools that work together. “Security teams today need visibility to stay ahead of advanced threats, especially as attacks become more complex and move across hybrid and cloud environments,” he explained. “By integrating Vectra AI’s advanced NDR with Exabeam’s powerful SIEM and automation capabilities, we’re empowering teams with a unified, intelligent platform to quickly identify, investigate, and stop threats before they escalate. This partnership is a major step forward in modernising security operations for the AI-driven threat landscape.”
The announcement reinforces the growing trend among cybersecurity vendors to offer joint solutions that help organisations respond more effectively to evolving threats, while reducing complexity and manual workload within SOCs.
