This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Sep. 3, 2026Exaforce is trusted by next-gen startups to Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies. Cybercrime Magazine met with company co-founder Marco Rodrigues at Black Hat USA 2026 to learn why.
Exaforce is on a mission to 10x improve the productivity and efficacy of security and operations teams using their transformative multi-model AI engine. Together, their Exabots and data exploration fabric deliver real-time insights, proactive detection and response, in-depth investigations, and automated workflows.
The idea: Transform your security operations center (SOC) with Agentic AI.
As attackers weaponize AI to increase the speed and volume of attacks, Exaforce boosts detection coverage, automates triage, accelerates investigations, and reveals actionable insights so that analysts can cut through the noise and identify real threats much faster and more accurately than with a traditional SIEM and SOAR stack.
