Exabeam has integrated its New-Scale Analytics platform with Google Security Operations, giving organisations access to behavioural analytics within Google's security operations environment to improve insider threat detection and response.

The integration enables security teams to analyse behaviour across both human users and AI agents without transferring security data into a separate analytics platform. Exabeam said the approach reduces operational complexity while providing additional visibility into risky activity across enterprise environments.

Shared platform

Google Security Operations provides a cloud-based platform for collecting and correlating security telemetry from across an organisation's environment. Exabeam's New-Scale Analytics now operates directly within that platform, allowing organisations to apply behavioural analytics to existing data.

Both platforms are built on Google Cloud. Exabeam said this shared infrastructure removes the need to maintain a separate analytics environment while lowering operational overhead.

The integration combines Google's security operations capabilities with Exabeam's behavioural analytics to help security teams identify higher-risk activity, reduce false positives and prioritise investigations involving both human and non-human identities.

According to Exabeam's validation testing, organisations using the combined capability accelerated threat detection, investigation and response workflows by up to 80%.

"The rise of AI agents is fundamentally changing how work gets done and how organizations need to think about risk," said Pete Harteveld, Chief Executive Officer, Exabeam. "By collaborating with Google Cloud, a trusted partner in helping customers modernize security operations, we can give enterprises the visibility and context needed to detect human and non-human insider threats earlier, accelerate investigation and response, and confidently secure the agentic enterprise."

AI identities

Exabeam said organisations are increasingly deploying AI agents that access systems, invoke tools, execute workflows and make operational decisions. These autonomous systems introduce additional insider risk because many existing security tools were developed to monitor human activity rather than machine identities.

The company said behavioural analytics can establish patterns of activity across both people and AI agents, allowing security teams to identify unusual behaviour before incidents escalate.

Exabeam's New-Scale Analytics forms part of its broader security operations platform. The technology combines behavioural analytics, AI-driven operations, workflow automation and security visibility to help organisations investigate and respond to threats.

The platform also supports agent-powered threat detection, investigation and response workflows while providing assessments and benchmarks intended to improve security operations over time.

"As AI agents have become digital workers inside enterprise environments, organizations must now secure and govern both human and non-human identities with the same level of oversight," said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer, Exabeam. "Bringing Exabeam Behaviour Intelligence directly into Google Security Operations helps organizations reduce complexity, prioritize the threats that matter most, and respond faster to insider risk - no matter where it originates."

Marketplace access

The integration is available to Google Security Operations customers through Google Cloud Marketplace.

Exabeam said eligible purchases through the marketplace can count towards existing Google Cloud spending commitments, allowing customers to deploy the analytics capability using their current cloud investment.

Google Cloud said the marketplace listing is intended to simplify deployment and management for customers using Google Cloud infrastructure.

"Bringing Exabeam New-Scale Analytics to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy and manage the solution on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs, Google Cloud. "Exabeam can now securely scale and support customers that want to use its advanced behavioral analytics to improve threat detection."
