Exabeam Unveils AI Agent Monitoring to Combat Insider Threats

Exabeam has expanded its Agent Behavior Analytics platform to monitor AI agents operating within ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. The move responds to rising insider threats as AI agents now authenticate, access systems, and execute business processes-often appearing legitimate even when compromised.

"Guardrails for prompt injection don’t protect against autonomous digital workers," said Steve Wilson, Exabeam’s chief AI and product officer. "We need deep behavioral baselines to catch subtle deviations before they escalate."

The update introduces five new capabilities: AI behavior baselining tracks user-agent patterns across request volume, token usage, and tool invocations; prompt and model abuse detection identifies manipulation attempts; identity and privilege monitoring enforces access controls; agent lifecycle monitoring tracks creation and usage; and OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI compliance ensures standardized threat coverage.

Enhancements to the Exabeam New-Scale and LogRhythm platforms improve analyst workflows, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate response times.
