The cybersecurity industry is facing a new challenge: AI-generated attacks. With the rapid advancement of generative AI, cybercriminals now have access to sophisticated tools that enable them to craft highly targeted attacks with minimal technical expertise. Unlike traditional attack methods that require deep programming knowledge, AI-driven attacks allow even non-technical malicious actors to create malware, exploit scripts, and launch phishing campaigns with ease.

When running a cybersecurity operation for an organization, there are numerous competing priorities—and the CISO is responsible for striking an intricate balance between them. Of course, the overall security posture is imperative, as are the organization’s broader business objectives. The CISO has to determine the organization’s tolerance for risk, while simultaneously understanding the most essential security use cases for the business and establishing protections for them.

Which approach provides superior cybersecurity: a single-vendor platform portfolio or a multivendor best-of-breed ecosystem? Superficially, single-vendor platforms seem to have various advantages: But take a closer look, and glaring gaps appear. Multiple, headline-grabbing security incidents have involved large platform players, and if you’re a seasoned cybersecurity leader, you should consider the risks associated with putting all your eggs in one basket.

Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and stealthier. Their methods are more advanced. Of these advanced methods, living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks are the sneakiest and most effective. By using legitimate tools and processes already in your environment, malicious actors can get what they want without being seen. But with the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform and our industry leading user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), security teams can stop them.
