Exabeam & Wiz partner to boost cloud security solutions

Wed, 20th Nov 2024

Exabeam has announced a partnership with Wiz to enhance cloud security threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities.

The collaboration aims to provide organisations with robust threat detection tools, ensuring a secure and resilient cloud environment.

Exabeam's New-Scale Security Operations Platform, which supports an extensive ecosystem through an open architecture, will now feature an integration with Wiz. This will allow customers improved security insights and streamlined onboarding, leveraging Wiz's understanding of complex risk combinations alongside Exabeam's AI-driven analytics.

Steve Wilson, Chief Product Officer at Exabeam, stated, "As organizations embrace cloud environments, the surge in cyberattacks is unprecedented, and visibility alone is not enough. Exabeam and Wiz are coming together to deliver what has been a missing piece in enterprise security. By uniting cutting-edge cloud security intelligence from Wiz with AI-powered analytics from Exabeam, we are transforming how security teams defend against evolving threats. Together, we're empowering enterprises with the unmatched ability to see and stop attacks before they escalate."

As cloud adoption grows, organisations face increased security challenges. Gartner forecasts that cloud or third-party infrastructure investigations will constitute more than two-thirds of all reported incidents by 2027. This upward trend in cloud-related threats highlights the need for integrated security strategies that deliver comprehensive visibility and actionable intelligence.

The integration with Wiz will offer beneficial features to Exabeam customers, such as improved detection and response strategies. By integrating Wiz's insights with Exabeam's analytics, security teams can track attack trends over time and prioritise critical threats efficiently.

Ryan Mednick, Senior Director of Cybersecurity and Trust at Dataminr, expressed support for the partnership, saying, "At Dataminr, we're thrilled to see two of our key security partners join forces to elevate our platform's protection."

"The integration of comprehensive cloud security insights with AI-driven behavioral analytics will not only strengthen our defenses but also streamline our security processes, enhancing our ability to safeguard both our data and customers."

The partnership also promises rapid onboarding and guided intelligence through pre-configured tools, enabling faster protection for cloud assets. Oron Noha, VP of Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz, commented, "Our partnership with Exabeam aims to make cloud security more accessible and effective for our customers."

"By combining our capabilities with advanced threat detection tools from Exabeam, we're giving security teams the ability to see potential risks more clearly and respond faster. This partnership ensures that organizations can better protect their cloud environments without adding complexity to their operations."

Exabeam and Wiz plan to extend their support to more organisations aiming to strengthen cloud security. The collaboration is positioned to enhance Wiz's integration capabilities, supporting ongoing advancement and readiness against emergent threats.
