Exabeam Nova now includes six purpose-built AI agents that automate decision-making, streamline investigations, and continuously benchmark program effectiveness
Exabeam, a global leader in intelligence and automation for security operations, has announced a significant expansion of its integrated multi-agent AI system, Exabeam Nova. The latest addition, the Nova Advisor Agent, introduces a strategic planning and boardroom communication capability designed specifically for CISOs. This is the industry’s first AI tool that translates complex security data into actionable, business-relevant strategies, addressing a long-standing challenge for security leaders — demonstrating risk reduction, proving investment value, and showing measurable progress.
With the new Nova Advisor Agent, Exabeam Nova becomes the only agentic AI that enables security leaders to:
Build Strategic Plans: Create data-backed roadmaps using posture assessments, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, and internal security data.
Communicate with Executives and Boards: Generate summaries that convert technical metrics into business outcomes to support investment decisions and track ROI.
Identify and Prioritise Gaps: Highlight issues such as missing log sources, misconfigurations, and weak threat detection content.
Run What-If Analyses: Simulate security tooling changes and assess their impact on overall security posture.
Track & Improve Maturity: Benchmark daily progress and align operational improvements with broader business goals.
“AI in cybersecurity has largely focused on analysing and responding to alerts. That’s no longer sufficient,” said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. “Nova now includes the first AI agent built specifically for CISOs. It doesn’t just indicate risk; it maps a clear improvement path and arms leaders with the evidence to justify decisions in the boardroom.”
Chris O’Malley, CEO of Exabeam, added, “Security teams are underfunded and overwhelmed, while threats continue to rise. Nova represents a transformative shift in SOC operations — from reactive alert chasing to strategic process optimisation. Customers are clear: they trust Nova for delivering accurate, reliable, and measurable outcomes.”
Exabeam Nova now includes six purpose-built AI agents that automate decision-making, streamline investigations, and continuously benchmark program effectiveness. Unlike other vendors that bolt AI onto legacy systems, Nova has been built from the ground up as a coordinated, agent-based system deeply embedded into Exabeam’s New-Scale Security Operations Platform. This ensures end-to-end integration across the threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) workflow.
Delivering Tangible Results For Customers
Within 90 days of adoption, Nova users report investigations that are five times faster with improved accuracy. Many cite the platform’s ability to provide actionable insights and demonstrate business impact as its most valuable feature.
Joep Kremer, Business Unit Director Cyber Security at ilionx, shared, “What truly sets Nova apart is the seamless collaboration between its AI agents. From alert to investigation to strategic overview, we can search in plain language, visualise trends, and act on prioritised insights — all in one platform. It feels like a full team of experts working silently behind the scenes. Nova isn’t just smart — it’s a game-changer.”
David Andrews, Information Security Officer at Extreme Networks, noted, “Exabeam’s responsiveness and openness to feedback are exceptional. The new SIEM Security Coverage Analysis Report from the Nova Advisor Agent, for instance, has helped us identify alerting gaps and provided actionable recommendations to optimise log usage.”
A Head of Security at a finance firm added, “Exabeam truly listens to its customers. Their rapid innovation and high-quality releases address the real-world challenges we face. With the New-Scale Platform, we move faster, make informed decisions, and stay ahead of threats. That’s why I continue to choose Exabeam — they deliver, with purpose and speed.”
