Compliance
Using manual processes and disparate products to meet regulatory requirements like GDPR, PCI DSS, and SOX exposes an organization to unnecessary risk. The stakes are high when considering audit failures, fines, and — worst case — disclosure reporting.

A single platform for compliance
Exabeam provides detection rules, behavioral models, and packaged compliance reporting to demonstrate to auditors that appropriate security controls are in place and comply with international, national, regional, and local mandates.
Identify Threats and Protect Privacy for GDPR
Ensure that your organization meets GDPR requirements while protecting individual privacy.
GDPR mandates organizations to use state-of-the-art technologies to detect and respond to emerging threats (Articles 25, 32). Using AI-powered machine learning, Exabeam UEBA capability baselines normal behavior and assigns a risk score to each event. Automated timelines visualize events based on risk.
Mitigate Insider Threats
Internal threats are the most difficult to detect. GDPR requires organizations to carefully assess the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, destruction, or exfiltration of personal data at every stage of handling (Article 24).
While identity and network access controls are integral to system protection frameworks, they often fall short in identifying insider behaviors that may indicate accidental or malicious activity. Exabeam behavioral analysis, powered by AI-driven machine learning, baselines normal user activity and assigns risk scores accordingly. Whether it’s lateral movement, privilege escalation, or related data exfiltration events, Exabeam readily identifies insider threats based on risk assessment.
Predefined Compliance Reporting
To achieve compliance with GDPR mandates, organizations must demonstrate that they are actively monitoring critical infrastructure that holds the personal data of EU citizens.
Using a powerful compliance and forensics reporting engine, Exabeam generates a series of built-in, GDPR-specific reports that help reduce the time to prove compliance to auditors.
Personally Identifiable Information
Protecting employees’ personally identifiable information (PII) from unauthorized access is a critical GDPR requirement. Exabeam provides role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce PII data masking. With Exabeam, high-risk actions representing potential security incidents are flagged for analysts. User information can remain masked until a credible risk is identified, and incidents are escalated to data privacy officers (DPOs) for unmasking, ensuring individual privacy is preserved.
Reduce Breach Response Times
GDPR requires breach notification within 72 hours, but most organizations struggle to know when one has occurred. Traditional SIEM tools can take days, weeks, or even months to detect a breach, let alone understand its complete scope and data exposure.
Exabeam makes it easy for analysts to detect incidents and understand their scope. By applying behavior-based risk scoring to all users and devices, Exabeam minimizes false alarms, keeping analysts focused on genuine threats. Timelines further streamline the detection, investigation, and response process by automatically consolidating all investigation artifacts into a cohesive visualization.
PCI DSS
Secure credit card data and accelerate PCI DSS compliance.
PCI DSS promotes cardholder data security while facilitating broad, global adoption of consistent data security measures. PCI compliance is a must for any organization handling credit card data, and failure to comply can result in daily penalties and fines.
Comprehensive Compliance Logging
Effective monitoring and analysis of events, along with maintaining continuous visibility, are crucial components of PCI DSS compliance. Exabeam offers predefined PCI DSS compliance reports such as “Failed VPN Logins” and “Remote Session Timeouts,” making it easy for auditors to verify compliance. With the cloud-native Exabeam Security Operations Platform, organizations can retain over 10 years of searchable data, meeting retention requirements for both internal compliance stakeholders and external auditors.
Identity and network access controls help organizations create a system protection framework, but fail to identify insider behaviors that might indicate accidental or malicious activity. Using AI-powered machine learning, Exabeam behavioral analysis baselines normal user activity and assigns a risk score. Whether it’s lateral movement, privilege escalation, or a related data exfiltration event, insider threats are readily identified based on risk.
Automated Threat Detection with UEBA
PCI DSS mandates rapid threat detection, emphasizing continuous account monitoring of privileged users and third-party vendors with special access. However, conventional security controls often prove ineffective when attackers obtain legitimate user credentials.
Exabeam uses continuous behavioral analytics to baseline normal user and entity behavior. Any deviations from this baseline are instantly flagged and assigned a risk score. Additionally, all activity is automatically organized into timelines, providing security teams with contextual information for efficient investigation and response. As a result, analysts can quickly detect insider threats, compromised accounts, data loss, and other sophisticated attacks.
Enhance PCI DSS Scope Reduction
To lower the cost of a PCI DSS assessment, many organizations limit their PCI scope. Lowering the cost and difficulty of implementing and maintaining PCI DSS controls also reduces the likelihood of noncompliance.
Exabeam provides hundreds of pre-built detection models to immediately flag PCI scope violations and save an organization from surprises during the PCI audit.
Automated Incident Response
PCI DSS guidelines emphasize the need for fast and effective incident response.
Exabeam timelines automatically organize all user and entity events and assign a risk score. This allows analysts to visualize events according to risk, giving them a comprehensive view of potential attacks. With a clear understanding of the attack scope, analysts can use predefined response actions and playbooks, or customize their own, to orchestrate and automate incident response.
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed by the U.S. Congress to protect against fraudulent or erroneous practices and improve corporate disclosure accuracy.
Information security professionals play a key role in a company’s compliance with SOX requirements. Subsequently amended to include cybersecurity considerations, SOX recognizes the increasing importance of protecting people, systems, and data in pursuit of fair and transparent financial reporting.
Event and Sensitive File Access Monitoring
Businesses operate in distributed environments leveraging internal and external infrastructure. To gain visibility across these domains and monitor them for SOX compliance, logs must be collected from all operating environments.
Exabeam gives security teams the edge they need to quickly and accurately identify risky financial activity, regardless of its location. Exabeam ingests log data across disparate domains, such as cloud, database, email, and applications, and assembles it into a coherent activity chain to improve analyst visibility. Specifically for detecting data tampering, Exabeam has built-in file monitoring models that track every file-related action — including initial access, attaching data to an email, downloading, or even writing to a USB drive. PCI DSS guidance includes quickly and effectively responding to incidents.
Automated Threat Detection with UEBA
A fundamental requirement for financial systems is to restrict sensitive data access to authorized personnel only. The only way to meet this requirement is to understand the typical behavior of all users and entities.
Exabeam analyzes and models user and entity behavior to establish what’s considered normal. Whevever there’s any suspicious activity, even from users with valid credentials, Exabeam alerts analysts. Additionally, Exabeam provides actionable insights on alerts from other security solutions, giving analysts the context needed to take quick, decisive action.
Enable rapid investigation
SOX Section 302 requires organizations to implement systems that protect against data tampering, track timelines, and evaluate the who-what-where-when of data access. Creating accurate incident timelines, particularly for insider threats involving lateral movement, can be challenging and time consuming.
The Exabeam UEBA capability identifies risky activities, then automatically creates timelines so analysts can investigate them. Automating parts of the investigation removes pressure on limited human resources and helps analysts efficiently fulfill the Section 302 requirement.
Effective incident response
SOX emphasizes prevention, but effective incident response is equally important when attacks happen.
Timelines are generated automatically for each user and device daily, presenting a chronological record of all activity, normal and abnormal. This comprehensive view enables analysts to grasp the full scope of an attack, allowing them to use predefined response actions or customized playbooks to orchestrate and automate remediation.

USE CASE
Insider Threats
Is it a trusted insider, or an adversary posing as a trusted insider? Signatures and rules can’t help when valid credentials are in the hands of an adversary. Organizations can’t fight what they can’t see.
USE CASE
External Threats
Intentional and malicious efforts to breach an organization or individual for theft, financial gain, espionage, or sabotage. Examples include: phishing, malware, ransomware, DDoS, and password attacks.
