Cybersecurity company Exabeam has introduced its modernized LogRhythm Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform in Iraq, offering organizations advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to strengthen cybersecurity operations, detect threats, and protect sensitive information within on-premises environments.
The launch aims to support Iraq’s ongoing digital transformation by providing government agencies, financial institutions, energy companies, telecommunications providers, and critical infrastructure operators with enhanced security monitoring and threat investigation capabilities.
The updated LogRhythm SIEM platform enables security teams to use locally deployed AI models for threat analysis, alert triage, and insider risk investigations without transferring sensitive security data outside their organizations. This approach is particularly relevant for regulated sectors seeking to maintain data sovereignty and comply with local security requirements.
AI Integration and Advanced Threat Monitoring
A key feature of the platform is its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which connects local generative AI models with SIEM data. This integration allows cybersecurity analysts to conduct investigations, examine security events, and prioritize alerts using AI-assisted workflows.
The platform also includes built-in data collectors for widely used enterprise AI tools, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and GitHub Copilot. These capabilities enable organizations to monitor AI-related activities, identify potential security risks, and investigate unauthorized or suspicious use of enterprise information.
According to Exabeam, the platform combines AI-powered automation with human oversight, allowing security operations center (SOC) teams to improve efficiency while maintaining control over critical security decisions.
Supporting Iraq’s Digital Transformation
Exabeam presented the platform during its “Securing Iraq’s Digital Future” customer and partner events in Baghdad, where company representatives demonstrated its AI capabilities and discussed the evolving cybersecurity requirements of Iraqi organizations.
Mazen Adnan Dohaji, Senior Vice President and General Manager for IMETA at Exabeam, emphasized the importance of helping Iraqi organizations manage emerging cybersecurity challenges as digital services expand.
“Securing Iraq’s digital transformation means understanding how employees and AI agents use trusted access and identifying when that access is misused,” Dohaji said.
He added that the modernized LogRhythm SIEM platform enables organizations to investigate insider risks using local AI models without moving sensitive security information outside their environments.
Omar Al-Zuhairi, Regional Manager for Iraq and the Levant at Exabeam, highlighted the growing complexity of securing digital payments, online government services, and connected energy infrastructure.
He noted that the platform’s AI-assisted capabilities allow cybersecurity teams to gather contextual information, investigate alerts, and make informed decisions while maintaining human oversight.
Strengthening Cyber Resilience
The introduction of LogRhythm SIEM expands Exabeam’s cybersecurity offerings in Iraq, providing organizations with deployment options suited to their infrastructure and regulatory requirements.
Alongside its cloud-native New-Scale Security Operations Platform, Exabeam’s on-premises LogRhythm SIEM enables organizations to adopt AI-assisted cybersecurity operations while retaining control over where their security data is stored and processed.
The launch reflects growing demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions as Iraq continues expanding digital government services, financial technologies, and critical infrastructure connectivity.
