Varonis, a software suite provider, positions itself as a key player in the protection of unstructured data, such as documents, spreadsheets, images, and videos, which are often found in large quantities within organizations.
The concept of DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) refers to organizing the protection of local or cloud-hosted data to prevent misuse, theft, and to control access to sensitive information.
Key Features of Varonis:
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM): Discover, map, monitor, and protect your data wherever it resides. The solution automatically mitigates risks, enforces policies, and detects threats in real-time.
Data Discovery and Classification: The solution identifies, classifies, labels, and automatically secures sensitive data in your cloud or on-premise repositories with accurate and scalable classification capabilities.
Cloud DLP: Agentless solution that automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data at rest, prevents exposure, monitors activity, and halts data exfiltration attempts.
AI Security: If adopting AI, the solution ensures full visibility and control over tools and workloads to prevent leaks of sensitive information.
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA): Real-time monitoring of data activities provides a complete, auditable trail of events in both cloud and on-premise environments. Behavior-based threat models detect suspicious activity and stop threats before data breaches occur.
Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR): Complementing traditional endpoint-focused MDR services, MDDR specifically concentrates on data protection.
Policy Automation: Continuously and automatically enforce your data security policies, eliminating risky permissions, configuration errors, stale users, sharing links, etc.
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM): Real-time monitoring of your SaaS security posture, with immediate correction of configuration issues as they are discovered.
Data Access Governance: Control access to and usage of sensitive data. AI handles the management and removal of unnecessary access.
Compliance Management: Automate reporting, map permissions, define corrective measures, and audit activities to meet regulatory requirements for data.
Email Security: Classify and monitor sensitive data within emails and attachments, with real-time alerts for abnormal email activity.
Varonis for Active Directory: Identify and fix commonly exploited Active Directory misconfigurations.
