Varonis Review

Varonis Data Security Platform is a cybersecurity solution designed to protect sensitive and business-critical data wherever it resides: file servers, NAS, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Active Directory, databases, and more. It is an advanced system focused on visibility, automation, and threat response for unstructured data, and is primarily used by large organizations operating in high-risk or heavily regulated industries (such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector).
Varonis stands out for its ability to map in real time who accesses what, when, and how, highlighting anomalous or potentially harmful behavior. The platform leverages machine learning to profile users and automate intelligent responses, drastically reducing the risk of breaches.
Its approach goes beyond a simple DLP, functioning as true Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) combined with User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and automated incident response capabilities.
