Feature

Description

New AWS S3 Cloud Collector

The new AWS S3 Cloud Collector is now available from the Cloud Collectors app to facilitate ingestion of logs from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This enables log management of your object storage logs within the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. You can also leverage additional correlation and threat detection provided with your Exabeam license.

The supported regions for AWS S3 Cloud Collector are US-West, US-East, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Singapore.

If you previously set up a cloud connector for this log source in the Cloud Connectors platform, to migrate to the new cloud collector, refer to the migration guidelines for this collector.

New Splunk Cloud Collector

The new Splunk Cloud Collector is now available from the Cloud Collectors app to facilitate ingestion of logs from the Splunk Cloud using a log collection (pull) option. The Cloud Collector provides an alternative to the Splunk Site Collector which facilitates log ingestion using a push mechanism.

Description

New Cloud Collectors

To facilitate ingestion of logs from additional sources, you can now easily onboard the following collectors from the Cloud Collectors app.

The supported regions for AWS CloudTrail and CrowdStrike Cloud Collectors are US-West, US-East, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Singapore.

If you previously set up cloud connectors for these sources in the Cloud Connectors platform, refer to the migration guidelines for each collector.

Reusable Accounts for AWS Cloud Collectors

To streamline the management of external accounts, you can now create a reusable account from the Cloud Collectors app. The account can be reused across one or more Cloud Collectors of the same type and help streamline the onboarding of Cloud Collectors. If credentials change, you can easily update the credentials from a single place and then test the connection for all collectors simultaneously.

For this release, only AWS accounts are shareable.

Description

Introducing Exabeam Cloud Collectors

Exabeam Cloud Collectors are now available on the Exabeam Security Operations Platform for all SaaS customers. Cloud Collectors is a new cloud-native app for log data collection across public cloud and SaaS applications.

The new cloud collectors take advantage of the multi-tenant and auto-scaling architecture of the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. In this first release, the new app introduces support for the Zscaler ZIA Cloud Collector. If you previously deployed the early access Zscaler ZIA Cloud Connector on the SaaS Cloud Connectors Platform, migration to the new Cloud Collectors app is recommended. You can deploy the Zscaler ZIA Cloud Collector for the US West region with the instance URL *.exabeam.cloud which is supported for deployment.
