Varonis launches cloud solution that protects and manages data

The emergence of Microsoft 365 and Azure and the acquisition of Polyrize has led Varonis to launch DatAdvantage Cloud, a solution that classifies and protects data and can stop advanced threats.

Varonis System introduces DatAdvantage Cloud, a solution that visualises and prioritises security risk across today's mission-critical SaaS applications and cloud data stores.

Yaki Faitelson, Varonis CEO, says: "We have seen tremendous momentum supporting Microsoft 365 and Azure, and with the acquisition of Polyrize last October 2020, we are committed to bringing Varonis' proven approach to additional SaaS applications. We are now delivering on that promise.”

As companies continue to rely more on cloud services, securing sensitive data against cyberattacks and accidental overexposure become exponentially more complex. Varonis says each service has its “own data types, permissions models, and activity log formats.”



DatAdvantage Cloud correlates identities with “privileges and activities across cloud stores, including AWS, Box, GitHub, Google Drive, Jira, Okta, Salesforce, Slack, and Zoom. Organisations can see and prioritise their biggest cloud risks, proactively reduce their blast radius, and conduct faster cross-cloud investigations.”

DatAdvantage Cloud processes relationships between users and data easily to answer critical security and compliance questions like: "Which sensitive files containing PII are exposed via sharing links?" or "Which external users have granted permissions in any of our SaaS apps?"

For each covered platform, DatAdvantage Cloud provides these key features and benefits:

Remediate SaaS/IaaS data exposure. Get a clear view of permissions across your cloud services with recommendations to eliminate excessive, inappropriate, or unused privileges.

Alert on suspicious activity and policy violations. Prevent cloud account takeovers, insider threats, and inadvertent policy violations with cross-cloud auditing and alerting.

Conduct fast cross-cloud threat investigations. Normalise and enrich cloud events to allow security analysts to investigate incidents cross-cloud without having to craft complex, service-specific queries.

Connect cross-cloud identities. Automatically link accounts across disparate cloud services—including personal accounts—to form a single identity. Easily uncover over-privileged shadow identities—human and non-human.

Cloud-native deployment. Simply point DatAdvantage Cloud at your existing cloud services and identity providers without any complex architecture changes or proxies.
