AI security is entering a more demanding phase. The market is moving beyond who can add AI to a product and toward who can make it useful in the real world — across existing security environments, partner ecosystems, and day-to-day operations. CRN’s 2026 Annual Report Card offers a useful snapshot of that shift. In the AI Security category, Exabeam earned the top overall score at 90.6, leading all four subcategories and every one of the 21 individual evaluation criteria.

CISOs can strengthen security budget conversations by replacing feature comparisons with measurable operational evidence. Establish the current burden, show how an investment changes security operations, and connect those improvements to financial impact. Metrics such as alert volume, analyst investigation time, manual effort, and capacity gained help CFOs evaluate security investments in terms of cost, benefit, predictability, and measurable business value. Every CISO has been there.

Moving Beyond

Insider threats often remain hidden during early activity because individual actions appear normal in isolation. Behavioral analytics closes the dwell time gap by establishing baselines for normal behavior, evaluating activity over time, and identifying meaningful deviations before attackers trigger traditional detections.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – August 4, 2026 – Exabeam, a leader in Behavior Intelligence for the agentic enterprise, today announced it has extended its behavioral analytics and agent-powered workflow automation to Google Security Operations. The integration gives security teams deeper visibility into insider threats, enabling more accurate investigation prioritization and faster threat detection and response, helping organizations manage risk across both human and AI identities.

Quick disclaimer before we start: I have a strict rule against ambulance chasing. You’ve seen vendor blogs that pounce on a breach headline just to pitch a product and claim it never would have happened with their tool installed. This isn’t that. The reported OpenAI and Hugging Face sandbox incident points to something bigger. Security teams are entering an era where autonomous AI agents can spot opportunities, adapt on the fly, and operate at machine speed.

AI agents don’t hack their way in. They don’t need to. They carry real credentials. They run inside approved systems. They read data, call APIs, and execute workflows on their own. Every action looks authorized because it is. That’s exactly the problem. The risk doesn’t show up in any single action; it emerges in the pattern as behavior shifts and drifts over time. AI agents function as trusted identities within your environment. They authenticate the way any employee does.

FEATURING FORRESTERHow autonomous agents are rewriting the insider threat playbook and what security leaders must do now. AI agents are proliferating inside the enterprise. They hold credentials, initiate actions, access sensitive systems, and move data autonomously, at scale, and often outside the visibility of your existing insider threat program.

MAIDENHEAD, England – July 8, 2026 – Exabeam, the leader in Behavior Intelligence for the agentic enterprise, today shared findings from a survey of cybersecurity professionals attending Infosecurity Europe 2026, offering a snapshot of how practitioners view AI’s growing impact on security operations. Among the 134 cybersecurity professionals surveyed when visiting the Exabeam booth, 88% said AI has improved their security team’s productivity.
