Cybersecurity company Varonis is releasing a new automated posture management tool designed to help customers remediate security and compliance gaps across their cloud-based software and infrastructure environments.
According to the New York-based company, the automated posture management tool continuously scans, detects and prioritizes cloud security risks, giving IT and security professionals real-time visibility into their data security posture and help them automatically fix misconfigurations in apps such as Salesforce and AWS from a single interface.
Citing data from Gartner, Varonis says ore than 99% of cloud breaches through 2025 will be caused by misconfigurations and end-user mistakes. With cloud apps and infrastructure evolving quickly, it can be difficult to know when sensitive data becomes vulnerable.
Large companies deploy an average of 187 different SaaS apps, Varonis says, which means security and compliance teams can spend months just trying to locate and understand their cloud security risk,
The company says the release represents a significant leap forward for cloud data security. Passive data security posture management (DSPM) solutions require manual workflows to open help desk tickets for someone to manually review and resolve in each individual cloud app. Varonis provides a unified and automated approach to reducing the multi-cloud attack surface.
Automated posture management is the latest of many features Varonis has launched to deliver effortless data security outcomes. Earlier this month, Varonis announced least privilege automation for Microsoft 365, Google Drive, and Box and a new customizable data security posture management (DSPM) dashboard.
Brian Vecci, field CTO of Varonis, says automated posture management takes the burden of understanding and remediating cloud misconfigurations off the customer.
“We stay on top of the latest configuration risks and best practices, so you don’t have to,” Vecci says. “Now, we can not only show you exactly how to improve your security posture, but we can also automatically mitigate risk on your behalf.”
