Varonis Systems, Inc. announced the expansion of its IaaS security coverage to Google Cloud. The latest integration broadens Varonis' extensive coverage portfolio, bringing the company's proven data-centric approach to Google Cloud storage and data warehouses.

Data is a prime target for attackers, but discovering where sensitive data lives and remediating risk across sprawling cloud environments is virtually impossible without automation. Other tools simply monitor configurations. Varonis focuses on data, providing comprehensive visibility while automatically identifying and resolving data risk issues.

With Varonis, customers can continuously strengthen their data security posture, help prevent data breaches, and maintain a state of least privilege across cloud environments.

With Varonis for Google Cloud, customers can:

• Identify and remediate at-risk data. Varonis automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data - in Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, managed databases in Google CloudSQL, and unmanaged databases installed on Google Cloud workloads - and flags overexposed files, buckets, and datasets, and limits exposure at scale.
• Restrict visibility of sensitive data with dynamic data masking. Varonis hides sensitive data like PII, PCI, and PHI in BigQuery based on users' roles.
• Detect and respond to suspicious activity and threats. Varonis proactively detects internal and external threats to data that others miss by monitoring data activity and user behavior.
• Accelerate permissions and exposure analysis. Varonis connects the dots between identity, permissions, and data exposure risk to investigate and address issues faster.

"Varonis is the unified platform that identifies and classifies data across your cloud environments and detects threats across your entire data estate at scale, in real-time," said Varonis Field CTO Brian Vecci. "Varonis offers deep visibility into cloud environments with today's leading hyperscalers - enabling security teams to significantly reduce enterprise risk."
