This brief focuses on detecting and mitigating privilege escalation attacks, a common tactic used by attackers to gain deeper access within systems. Exabeam uses behavioral analytics to identify anomalies such as credential switching, unauthorized access to sensitive systems, or exploitation attempts. Investigation is accelerated through automated threat timelines that correlate events into a clear attack narrative, while guided workflows ensure analysts follow consistent investigation steps. Response actions are automated through playbooks, enabling quick containment such as suspending accounts or enforcing MFA. As highlighted on page 3, organizations can reduce mean time to respond by up to 60% while improving detection speed and analyst efficiency.
