Navigating AI's impact on insider security threats

Exabeam integrates Google Cloud technology to tackle insider threats posed by AI agents.

At the Google Cloud Security Innovation Forum, Exabeam, renowned for its intelligence and automation prowess powering security operations, announced a significant integration. This partnership injects Google Agentspace and Google Cloud’s Model Armor telemetry into Exabeam’s New-Scale Security Operations Platform.

This collaboration affords security teams unprecedented ability to monitor, detect, and respond to AI agents acting as digital insiders. It offers insights into the behaviour of autonomous agents, revealing intent, spotting drift, and swiftly identifying compromises.

Exabeam’s study, “From Human to Hybrid: How AI and the Analytics Gap are Fuelling Insider Risk,” highlights a concerning trend. A staggering 93% of organisations have encountered, or anticipate, an increase in insider threats driven by AI, with 64% prioritising insider risks over external actors. As AI agents engage with sensitive data and make independent decisions, a new breed of insider risk emerges: digital actors operating outside traditional monitoring frameworks.

Traditional SIEM and XDR solutions, lacking the capability to baseline and learn normal behaviour, cannot reliably detect rogue agents. Here, Exabeam steps in, leveraging its expertise in machine learning and behavioural analytics to bridge this critical gap. By integrating telemetry from Google solutions into the New-Scale Platform, Exabeam redefines what modern security platforms must provide.

The company’s innovative edge lies in Exabeam Nova, central to empowering security teams to confidently act on agent behaviour. Nova provides explainable, prioritised threat insights by analysing AI agents' intent and actions in real-time, helping analysts understand the context behind their actions, whether legitimate or otherwise.

This operationalisation of telemetry equips security teams to defend against the next-generation of insider threats with unparalleled clarity. As AI transforms business operations, security must keep pace. Exabeam is at the forefront, advancing insider threat detection and delivering needed visibility and control in an AI-driven world.

By unifying observation across human and AI-driven activities, Exabeam sets a new standard for enterprise security. This development assures organisations they can embrace AI confidently, without sacrificing control, integrity, or trust.
