At a recent industry event, Gartner shared that 74% of CEOs believe AI will be the most impactful technology to their business over the next three years. In cybersecurity, that future isn’t three years away — it’s already here.
AI is the defining force shaping the next chapter of security operations. But let’s be clear: it’s not enough to have AI, to just “check the AI box” so to speak. To truly shift the advantage to defenders, you must build around it. It has to be woven into the very DNA of your platform, not bolted on or used as buzzword fodder.
At Exabeam, we’re not chasing the future — we’re creating it.
That’s why I’m proud to announce that Steve Wilson, formerly Chief Product Officer, is now Chief AI and Product Officer. This new title reflects reality: Steve is both the architect of our product strategy and the catalyst behind our most transformative AI innovations. Most recently, Steve led the release on Exabeam Nova – making Exabeam the first and only security operations vendor delivering a multi-agent experience where specialized AI components are integrated throughout the security operations workflow.
Steve’s leadership is the reason Exabeam is pioneering agentic AI in security operations — AI that doesn’t just assist, but acts. Our platform accelerates investigations, reduces false positives, and adapts dynamically to context in real time. We’re not experimenting in the lab — we’re delivering AI-powered outcomes to customers today. This is what it looks like when AI moves from assistive to autonomous. From promise to performance. From theory to real intelligence, real security, real fast. And Steve has been the force propelling this vision forward.
Let’s be honest: AI in cybersecurity has become a buzzword. Everyone’s talking about it, most are dabbling in it, and very few are doing anything meaningful with it.
Enter Exabeam. We’ve built our reputation on delivering a platform that security teams trust to catch the threats that others miss. And increasingly, that means leveraging artificial intelligence not as an afterthought, but as a core design principle. We don’t bolt on an LLM and call it innovation — we engineer the product experience to give defenders the intelligence, speed, and context they need to win. That’s why this title change matters. Not for me personally, but because it aligns with how we actually work and what we’re actually building. We’re not siloing AI into an R&D group or treating it as a special project. We’re infusing it directly into the workflows of frontline security analysts and key decision makers — making the hard things easier, the noisy things clearer, and the slow things faster.
When we talk about outcomes, we mean it. AI isn’t just helping analysts write tickets, it’s helping them make better decisions — faster. It’s analyzing terabytes of data in real time to surface real threats. It’s learning from every environment to adapt and stay one step ahead of the adversary. And crucially, it’s being delivered in a way that enhances human judgment rather than replacing it.
Yes, I still obsess over product strategy, customer feedback, and the mechanics of delivering great software. But increasingly, what excites me, and what defines where Exabeam is going, is how AI is transforming that software into something more autonomous, more intelligent, and more effective.
In a world that’s constantly evolving, some things never change: trust, integrity, and delivering on your promises. At Exabeam, we don’t just talk about AI, partnership, or innovation, we live it. We believe in building products that deliver meaningful outcomes and always — always — putting our customers first.
Steve’s new title as Chief AI and Product Officer reflects this philosophy. It acknowledges the convergence of product excellence and AI innovation into one unified mission: helping security teams regain control, outpace threats, and move at the speed of business.
With this leadership alignment, we’re raising the bar for what a modern security operations platform should be, and what customers should expect.
This isn’t the future of cybersecurity.
This is Exabeam. And the future is now.
