Today, data is scattered across dozens of systems – the cloud, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, databases, and file servers. Most organizations don’t know exactly where their sensitive information is stored, who has access to it, or whether someone is currently leaking it outside the organization. Varonis Systems (Nasdaq: VRNS) has been solving this exact problem for over two decades. Varonis is a global leader in data security and the creator of one of the highest-rated Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platforms. Its portfolio also includes Atlas AI, a comprehensive platform designed to protect artificial intelligence systems and the data they use. Varonis has twice been named a Customers’ Choice in Gartner® Peer Insights, and thousands of organizations worldwide trust the company to protect their most valuable asset: data.
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) – Complete visibility and control over data
Data Security Posture Management is a rapidly evolving approach to security that addresses the fundamental question: Where is our sensitive data, and who has access to it? The Varonis DSPM platform continuously and automatically detects, classifies, monitors, and protects data – whether it’s stored in Microsoft 365, Azure, Salesforce, Snowflake, AWS, or on-premises. It’s one of the few solutions that offers advanced automated risk remediation – with minimal administrator involvement.
Data classification and exploration – knowing what you have
A comprehensive data inventory is the foundation of effective protection. Varonis offers advanced mechanisms for automatically discovering and classifying sensitive information – from personal data (GDPR, CCPA) to financial data and trade secrets. The platform features a library of hundreds of pre-built, configurable classification rules, and through integration with Microsoft Purview, it enables the consistent application of labels and enforcement of DLP policies across the entire environment. Organizations gain a precise understanding of what data they possess, where it is located, and how it is secured.
Data Access Intelligence – Access Control
One of the biggest challenges facing modern IT departments is over-privileging – employees and applications have access to far more resources than they actually need. Varonis provides a detailed permissions map that takes into account all factors affecting data access: group memberships, roles in SaaS applications, and both inherited and direct permissions. The platform shows in real time who has access to sensitive data, and built-in automatic remediation mechanisms allow for the immediate restriction of excessive permissions and the removal of inactive accounts – without creating additional tasks for administrators.
Data Detection and Response (DDR) – real-time threat detection
Varonis goes a step further than traditional data security management tools. The Data Detection and Response (DDR – a term used by Varonis) module monitors user and application activity, building a baseline behavior profile for every entity in the organization. Any deviation from the norm – unexpected access to a large number of files, data exfiltration, suspicious activity on a privileged account – is immediately detected and reported. The platform maintains a searchable, detailed audit trail of all data operations, which significantly accelerates post-breach analysis and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Varonis Atlas AI – Comprehensive Artificial Intelligence Security
The rapid adoption of large language models, AI agents, and Copilot-style tools is creating a new attack surface. Organizations often lack complete visibility into which AI systems operate in their environments, what information they can access, and whether they use sensitive data in accordance with established security policies.
Varonis Atlas AI is a vendor-neutral security platform that protects artificial intelligence systems throughout their entire lifecycle – from discovery and risk assessment to security testing, production monitoring, and runtime protection. It can cover hosted AI platforms, custom large language models, chatbots, AI-powered applications, autonomous agents, and environments based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Key Varonis Atlas AI capabilities include:
- AI inventory and shadow AI discovery – identifies models, agents, chatbots, tools, and AI projects, including systems deployed without the knowledge or approval of IT and security teams.
- AI Security Posture Management – continuously assesses configurations, permissions, vulnerabilities, and the level of access AI systems have to sensitive data.
- Automated AI security testing – evaluates the resilience of models and applications against prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and scenarios that could expose protected information.
- Real-time protection – analyzes prompts, model responses, and agent actions to block operations that could lead to data exposure or policy violations.
- Monitoring, detection, and response – records AI activity, identifies anomalies, and sends alerts to security teams and SIEM/SOAR systems.
- Compliance and audit support – documents how artificial intelligence is used and helps organizations meet internal policies and emerging AI-related regulatory requirements.
Atlas AI and DSPM – Connecting AI Security with Data Context
Monitoring the behavior of an AI model is not enough if an organization does not know what data the model can access or who has permission to use that data. This is why Varonis combines the capabilities of Atlas AI with its Data Security Posture Management platform.
Atlas AI provides visibility and control over models, agents, and AI-powered applications. Varonis DSPM adds critical data context by identifying sensitive information, its location, access permissions, and how it is being used. Together, these capabilities help organizations understand actual business risk, reduce excessive access, prevent data exposure, and develop AI solutions without losing control over corporate information.

Regulatory Compliance – GDPR, NIS2, and More
Compliance management is one of the key challenges for organizations operating in Poland and the European Union. Varonis supports compliance with NIS2 requirements in the area of data security. The platform provides ready-made reports, policies, and audit mechanisms that enable organizations to quickly demonstrate compliance with regulatory authorities. Thanks to automatic data classification and precise access control, organizations can effectively meet requirements such as the right to be forgotten and data processing restrictions.
Flexible deployment – SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid
Varonis offers flexible deployment models tailored to the needs of every organization. The cloud-based SaaS platform, hosted and managed by Varonis, simplifies data security management for both cloud and on-premises environments – with minimal administrative overhead. For organizations that prefer full control over their infrastructure, on-premises or private cloud (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) deployment options are available. The platform integrates natively with Microsoft, AWS, and other leading cloud service providers’ ecosystems.
