Vectra AI Introduces AI Assistant For Faster Detection Of Cyber Threats
Vectra AI has announced Vectra AI MCP Server, a powerful tool that brings seamless, natural language access to the Vectra AI Platform through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Currently available as early access to all customers, with more releases to come soon, this tool allows security teams to engage with the Vectra AI Platform through AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others – turning complex threat investigations into intuitive conversations. Security operations teams are embracing AI to work faster and more efficiently, but accessing deep security insights remains a technical and time-consuming process. Analysts often struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented toolsets, and complex workflows that delay response and increase risk. By adopting MCP – a fast-growing open standard that enables AI agents to connect with external data and tools – Vectra AI is breaking down those barriers and making expert-level detection and response accessible through a simple prompt. The Vectra AI MCP Server connects directly to the Vectra AI Platform, enabling analysts and threat hunters to investigate incidents, reconstruct attack timelines, and report on security posture – all through conversational queries. The integration eliminates the need for custom connectors, reduces investigation time, and allows SOC teams to generate context-rich visuals and reports that can be easily shared with leadership. It builds on Vectra AI's core platform strengths and requires no changes to existing deployments. 'As AI-native workflows reshape the way teams investigate and respond to threats, we're committed to making our intelligence available wherever and however our customers work,' said Jeff Reed, chief product officer at Vectra AI. 'The launch of our MCP Server is a major step in democratizing security expertise – empowering every analyst with instant access to powerful insights through the AI tools they already use.'

Exabeam partners with Vectra AI to boost cloud threat defence
Exabeam has announced a partnership with Vectra AI to integrate the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform with the Vectra AI Platform. The collaboration aims to address the challenges faced by security teams in identifying advanced threats, particularly those that move laterally across cloud environments. Many existing solutions, originally developed for on-premises systems, struggle to detect these attacks, resulting in delayed responses and increased manual workloads for analysts. The integration combines Exabeam's SIEM, user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA), and automated workflows with Vectra AI's network detection and response (NDR) capability. According to Exabeam, this unified solution will centralise visibility, accelerate threat detection, and streamline investigation processes across cloud-based environments. Vectra AI's platform provides visibility into lateral threat movement by monitoring activity both east-west and north-south across a variety of network architectures, including data centres, campus facilities, remote workspaces, cloud, and operational technology (OT) environments. By incorporating Vectra AI's analytics into the Exabeam infrastructure, the two companies aim to give security teams improved detection and response capabilities. Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam, said, "Teaming up with Vectra AI, isn't just a partnership, it's a power move. We need to shift the balance in cybersecurity, putting defenders back in control. With their cloud threat intel and our AI-driven platform, we're exposing the threats others miss and flipping the script on what modern threat detection looks like." The integration is designed to provide a number of practical benefits. Accelerated threat detection is achieved by consolidating security data from various sources and automating processes throughout the security operations centre (SOC) stack. This allows analysts to identify and respond to incidents faster and with greater accuracy. Enhanced visibility is another feature, with the combined platform able to detect network-based risks throughout cloud infrastructures by leveraging behavioural analytics. This helps security teams spot lateral movement, insider threats, and post-compromise activities that traditional tools might overlook. Streamlined operations are facilitated by out-of-the-box integration features. These include prebuilt mappings, a preconfigured Vectra AI dashboard tile, and webhook collectors, all of which are intended to speed up deployment and reduce ongoing operational complexity for SOC teams. Jeff Reed, Chief Product Officer at Vectra AI, said, "Security teams today need visibility to stay ahead of advanced threats, especially as attacks become more complex and move across hybrid and cloud environments. By integrating Vectra AI's advanced NDR with Exabeam's powerful SIEM and automation capabilities, we're empowering teams with a unified, intelligent platform to quickly identify, investigate, and stop threats before they escalate. This partnership is a major step forward in modernising security operations for the AI-driven threat landscape." The partnership is built on the understanding that today's threat landscape is increasingly shaped by cloud adoption and remote work, where attack vectors are more diverse and attacks often bypass traditional network boundaries. By providing centralised and integrated defence tools, Exabeam and Vectra AI aim to help organisations keep pace with these developments and reduce the burden on security staff. Analysts using the integrated platform are expected to benefit from simplified incident investigations, less manual effort, and improved overall security outcomes. The new solution is positioned as addressing a market demand for unified threat detection and response that adapts to both legacy systems and modern, cloud-native environments.
