This article explains how to connect Exabeam Fusion XDR to Workbench.

Step 1: Enable console access

The Exabeam Security Management Platform uniquely combines a data lake for unlimited data collection, machine learning for advanced analytics, and automated incident response into an integrated set of products. The SOC analysts require a dedicated user account, which allows us to respond to security alerts and leverage the data available in Exabeam Fusion XDR.

Note

Expel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices in a MFA password product. Access to this login information is protected using our internal MFA processes. To learn more about the IP addresses all Expel traffic comes from, go here.
