Melbourne, Australia, 11 June 2026, 12PM AEST: NEC Australia and Exabeam today announced the expansion of their strategic partnership to help organisations across Australia strengthen security operations and reduce insider risk in increasingly automated environments. Through this partnership, NEC Australia will work with Exabeam to deliver behaviour-based security analytics that help organisations detect threats faster, reduce investigation effort, and improve visibility across complex hybrid and cloud-native environments.
 

"Australian organisations are embracing AI, automation and increasingly complex digital operating environments, creating new opportunities but also new security challenges," said Hanré van Rensburg, Head of Service Strategy, NEC Australia. 

"As organisations move towards the Agentic Enterprise, security teams require greater visibility into both human and non-human activity across their environments.

Our strengthened partnership with Exabeam enhances NEC Australia's managed security services capability, enabling us to help customers detect threats earlier, reduce investigation effort and improve security outcomes through advanced behavioural analytics and AI-assisted security operations."

NEC Australia utilises Exabeam technology within its own security operations environment and brings deep expertise supporting large, distributed organisations across Australia. As organisations expand the use of AI-driven workflows, service accounts and autonomous systems, NEC Australia is strengthening its security services to address the challenges of the Agentic Enterprise - where human users and non-human actors operate at machine speed. By deepening its engagement with Exabeam, NEC Australia can help customers establish behavioural baselines, identify anomalous activity and reduce risk across users, entities and agents.

"NEC Australia has a strong track record of delivering trusted technology and security services across some of the most complex environments in the region," said Sean Abbott, Director of Channel and Alliances – APJ at Exabeam.

"This partnership brings Behavior Intelligence to the centre of security operations. By applying User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and Agent Behavior Analytics (ABA), NEC Australia can help customers surface high-risk activity earlier, cut through alert noise, and focus security teams on the threats that matter."

Exabeam's behaviour intelligence detects insider threats, compromised credentials and advanced attacks that traditional rule-based approaches often miss. With UEBA and ABA, Exabeam establishes behavioural context across human users and the digital workforce, helping organisations identify and respond to threats with speed, clarity and confidence.

Integrated AI-powered security agents also automate critical parts of the threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) workflow, enriching data, correlating activity across environments and automatically assembling evidence-backed timelines that dramatically reduce investigation time.

Through its partnership with Exabeam, NEC Australia helps organisations modernise security operations and strengthen their ability to defend against threats that move at machine speed.
