Overview
Exabeam is a cybersecurity company that has extended into AI agent security with its Agent Behaviour Analytics (ABA) platform. Generally available as SaaS on Google Cloud, it serves enterprise and government customers, with integrations across Anthropic, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini, and partnerships with CrowdStrike and Splunk.
Key Technology Insights
User and entity behaviour analytics learns what normal activity looks like for people and devices, then flags deviations. ABA extends that approach to AI agents, treating each as a first-class identity with its own behavioural baseline and a three-tier risk classification. Data is collected through APIs and log ingestion rather than endpoint agents, and detected incidents produce an automated investigation summary.
Industry Application
Exabeam’s most developed applications detect AI agent data exfiltration, guardrail violations and investigates autonomous agent misbehaviour; protecting enterprise and government environments from non-human “insider” threats.
Strategic Perspective
Exabeam frames AI agents as a new class of insider threat, with 37% of CISOs citing agent security as their top concern. Its advantage comes from extending proven User and Entity Behaviour Analytics(UEBA) into this gap as an early mover. Its roadmap moves from detection towards prevention, with a pre-approval authorisation layer and air-gapped deployment planned.
