Exabeam announced a major enhancement to the Exabeam Security Management Platform, enabling organizations to detect improper access of cloud storage objects and defend against threats to cloud-based data, such as attackers exfiltrating sensitive data or hosting malicious files.

By ingesting audit data from Amazon Simple Storage Services, Microsoft Azure Blobs and Google Cloud Platform Cloud Storage buckets, Exabeam can distinguish malicious activity from normal behavior and allow security analysts to easily identify and follow attacks on cloud storage objects before they lead to a security breach.

Recognizing an opportunity, cloud data storage is increasingly targeted by cybercriminals who exploit configuration errors to access sensitive data - an attack strategy that can remain undetected by the victim.

Exabeam Smart Timelines place security alerts in the context of the user or cloud storage object they are associated with, so analysts are able to conduct rapid incident investigation and prioritize security alerts.

"As more organizations recognize the benefits offered by the leading cloud storage providers, they also need to prioritize updating their security posture to address risk factors, such as configuration errors, that can put their data at risk," said Adam Geller, chief product officer, Exabeam.
