Why AI Is Your Biggest Business Opportunity—And Risk
Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer, Exabeam. Cybersecurity often operates within a bubble, assuming that business leaders are fully conversant with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). The reality? AI is reshaping every facet of business, and its implications stretch far beyond security. Although McKinsey researchers report that 78% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, a significant jump from 72% in early 2024, many executives' exposure to AI regrettably begins and ends with large language models (LLMs). This leaves them unaware of vital areas such as AI-powered threat detection, the complexities of autonomous systems and the strategic implications of adversarial machine learning. That's not just a blind spot, it's a business risk. AI is now both your biggest opportunity and your biggest threat. The Art Of Knowing What You Don't Know AI is now embedded everywhere, boosting efficiency. But this integration unleashes unintended consequences: flawed automation, biased outputs, compliance pitfalls and reputational damage. These aren't technical glitches; they're fundamental business risks that hammer trust and resilience. Leaders don't need to be security experts, but they must grasp the AI agenda. This means dictating AI's governance, deployment and risk management enterprise-wide. It also means having the self-awareness to ask the right questions and the right people. Assuming everyone "just gets it" widens the critical gap between security pros and executive leadership. The real danger isn't misunderstanding; it's the profound business implications that follow. Without clear, business-aligned AI risk communication, companies underinvest, stall decisions and create a false sense of security at the top. The Results Speak Loudly The tangible benefits of AI are already underway, and the results speak for themselves. For example, in a 2025 Exabeam study, 56% of security teams reported that AI has boosted productivity by streamlining tasks, automating routine processes and accelerating response times. These undeniable gains demonstrate the real business value of AI when implemented responsibly and with clear oversight. But the stakes are rising. In a May 2025 Senate testimony, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called for an AI regulatory sandbox to encourage innovation while avoiding fragmented overregulation. His message was clear: This isn't just tech. AI is now a geopolitical, economic and competitive force. Leaders who aren't actively engaged will miss the opportunity. From Soundbites To Substance It isn't enough to simply name-drop AI on earnings calls. True leadership means showing, not just saying, how AI aligns with business outcomes like growth and resilience. Every company, not just tech vendors, must step up. That starts with the following actions: • Establish AI governance at the C-suite level. AI is a cross-functional strategic priority, not just an IT or security task. A C-suite team, including legal, risk and operations, must align AI initiatives with business goals, prioritize investments and manage enterprise-wide risks and rewards. • Treat AI as a strategic asset, not just a tool. To secure executive buy-in, frame AI risks by their business impact: reputational damage, fines, market loss or eroded trust. This helps ensure leaders see AI as a critical business issue, demanding their proactive management, not just a technical one. • Champion smart AI regulation and industry collaboration. Engage with policymakers, regulators and industry groups to advocate for balanced AI regulations that prevent overregulation at the state level while fostering innovation. As OpenAI's Altman testified, creating a framework for AI adoption is crucial. This collaborative approach can help shape a sustainable AI ecosystem, ensuring that regulations support growth while addressing security and ethical concerns. • Invest in AI resilience, transparency and accountability. Prioritize building effective, transparent and auditable AI systems. This mitigates risks like bias and compliance failures, helping ensure long-term trust, quick issue correction and leadership in responsible AI. Your AI Strategy Can't Be Siloed Too often, AI sits with technical teams, disconnected from core business strategy. That's a governance failure. AI must be embedded across strategic planning, risk management and product development, with clear ownership from the start. Meanwhile, the market is awash with new AI products and bold promises. CISOs and tech leaders must become simplifiers and skeptics, cutting through the hype to vet solutions based on real value, not just marketing tropes. Generative AI brings innovation but risks repeating past cycles of overpromising. Disciplined due diligence is essential. Ultimately, AI is a catalyst for growth. The smartest leaders aren't chasing every trend—they're investing in the right people, like data scientists and prompt engineers. Because in this complex era, the real edge is clarity. Bold leadership means aligning your teams, tech and strategy to unlock value while keeping risk in check.

Exabeam Renews Partner Program
Exabeam has unveiled the Exabeam APEX Partner Program, a modernized, partner-informed global channel initiative built to meet the evolving demands of today's cybersecurity landscape. As a channel-first company, Exabeam has consistently evolved its partner program over time to meet the ongoing needs of its business partners. Far more than a channel refresh, the new Exabeam APEX Partner Program is a bold step forward, directly addressing persistent industry frustrations around rigid tiering, limited autonomy, and inconsistent regional support. It reflects insights gathered from a Voice of the Partner survey, one-on-one interviews, and post-merger insights which underscore the long-term commitment Exabeam has to transparency, enablement, and shared success. 'At Exabeam, we're committed to delivering a partner experience that's modern, meaningful, and built to last,' said Craig Patterson, Global Channel Chief at Exabeam. 'Too many programs in the market are rigid, complex, and disconnected from what partners actually need. We listened, and we built something different. APEX prioritizes competency over contracts, enablement over transactions, and collaboration over assumptions. With 97% of our business running through the channel, this is a structural reinvention, co-designed with partners to deliver measurable value, real-world impact, and long-term growth.' By eliminating legacy obstacles and overcomplicated processes, the Exabeam APEX Partner Program empowers partners with greater flexibility, faster onboarding, and deeper collaboration. Its streamlined, competency-based framework simplifies licensing, improving margins, and enables a faster, more equitable path to value in a competitive cybersecurity market. 'We believe the best outcomes are achieved with customer-obsessed partners, by design,' said Chris O'Malley, CEO at Exabeam. 'The Exabeam APEX Partner Program represents more than a relaunch — it's a renewed commitment to being a truly partner-first company in best serving customers. We are leaning in, investing in our partners, and working shoulder-to-shoulder to extend our reach, accelerate time to value, and drive success for our customers.' Listening, Learning, and Delivering for the Channel In preparation for the launch of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program, Exabeam launched its global Voice of the Partner survey in Q1 2025 to identify the specific needs of VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs around the world. The insights received shaped a persona-driven program with clear enablement paths, simplified structures, and meaningful regional adaptability. Building on those insights, Exabeam is also introducing two new routes to market: Technology Solution Distributors (TSDs) and a dedicated referral track for consultants, advisors, and ecosystem alliances. A key evolution of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program is the shift to a competency-based tiering model that rewards performance, not just sales volume. According to the Voice of the Partner survey, 27% of partners ranked training, certifications, and business development as their top priorities, nearly double the 14% who cited incentives and rebates. The new program reflects this shift, aligning advancement with strategic enablement and technical expertise, and delivering a transparent, achievable path to greater opportunities. Key elements of the Exabeam APEX Partner Program include: Flexible, Competency-Based Tiering: Advancement is earned through certifications, specializations, and customer success, not arbitrary revenue thresholds. Clear, Predictable Incentives: Starting discounts, stackable rebates, and commitment accelerators drive profitability and reward investment. Simplified Onboarding and Pricing: Streamlined processes that reduce friction and boost partner profitability. Revamped Role-Based Enablement: Training and certifications aligned with the Exabeam product roadmap to accelerate time-to-value and support innovation. Integrated Go-to-Market Alignment: Enhanced collaboration across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Support ensures a consistent and scalable partner experience. Global Alignment with Local Flexibility: Regions can add or waive requirements based on local market realities, while maintaining consistency in structure and benefits

'AI in cybersecurity has been mostly about analyzing and responding to alerts, but that's not enough anymore,' said Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam. 'Exabeam Nova has expanded to become something larger. It's the first and only AI system that includes an agent built for the CISO. Exabeam Nova doesn't just tell security leaders where they stand, it diagnoses where they're at-risk, maps a plan to improve, and arms leaders with the facts to explain decisions to their executive team and board.' 'We're more focused than ever on delivering intelligent, outcomes-driven security solutions that scale with today's threats, and anticipate tomorrow's,' said Chris O'Malley, CEO of Exabeam. 'Security teams are woefully underfunded and asked to do more with less, yet threats continue to multiply. Exabeam Nova is creating a historic shift in how SOCs operate — moving from reactive alert chasing to strategic process optimization. What we're hearing from customers is clear: they trust Exabeam Nova. It's accurate, reliable, and delivers the real, measurable outcomes they've been waiting for.' With the addition of the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent, Exabeam Nova now includes six agents purpose-built to automate decisions, streamline investigations, and deliver continuous benchmarking of program effectiveness with clear, prioritized recommendations to drive improvement. Embedded into the foundation of the New-Scale Security Operations Platform, Exabeam Nova is deeply integrated into the complete threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) workflow. Unlike vendors that bolt AI onto outdated infrastructure, Exabeam Nova was developed from the ground up as a coordinated system of agents, each aligned to a real-world SOC function to increase productivity and efficiency. Delivering Meaningful Value for Customers Within 90 days of launch, Exabeam Nova users report five-times faster investigations with improved accuracy. Users overwhelmingly cite the ability to work smarter and prove the business impact of their security programs as Exabeam Nova's greatest value. 'What really sets Exabeam Nova apart is how seamlessly the AI agents work together,' said Joep Kremer, Business Unit Director Cyber Security at ilionx. 'From the moment an alert comes in, the case investigator builds a summary, the assistant helps us dig deeper, and the advisor shows how it all ties back to our overall posture. We can search in plain language, visualize trends instantly, and act on clear, prioritized insights — all in one platform. It's like having a full team of experts working behind the scenes to keep us fast, focused, and aligned. Exabeam Nova isn't just smart it is a game-changer for our SOC.' 'We have been very happy with Exabeam's openness to feature feedback, the quick release rates of new features and the overall usefulness and quality of those features,' said David Andrews, Tat Extreme Networks. 'The new SIEM Security Coverage Analysis Report from the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent,for example, has allowed us to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in our alerting while also providing recommendations on making better use of our log sources.'
