Exabeam Site Collector
The Exabeam Site Collector is an application that securely and efficiently uploads event data to Exabeam SaaS services in the New-Scale Security Operations Platform.
At a high level, the Exabeam Site Collector collects messages; transfers, persists, and uploads data; and connects to New-Scale Security Operations Platform.
The Exabeam Site Collector is the managed entry point for logs to be routed to other processing tools, such as Exabeam Advanced Analytics, Exabeam Data Lake, Exabeam Incident Responder, and Exabeam Case Manager in the Exabeam Security Management Platform. Site collectors gather logs from external servers, systems, data centers, or Exabeam collectors (including Windows, File, and GZip).
The site collector routes collected logs to the Exabeam Security Management Platform. The site collector continuously queues and uploads logs as well as manages the forwarding rate and message backlog. Data is encrypted and compressed in transmission and while at rest in the New-Scale Security Operations Platform. A persistent connection to the New-Scale Security Operations Platform allows the site collector to connect to your assets such as Active Directory for context and authentication, access API for log repositories, and any Incident Responder actions.
You can deploy multiple site collectors as your log volume and sources grow. You can deploy them in any network, data center or virtual private cloud (VPC) as required. All SaaS service log data is collected via API using the New-Scale Security Operations Platform. See Install Exabeam Site Collector for prerequisites and restrictions.
