Varonis Data Discovery and Classification
Miami, Florida, United States
What it is
Varonis Data Discovery and Classification finds and classifies sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, data center, hybrid, and on-premises environments. It scans structured databases and warehouses, unstructured files and folders, and semi-structured SaaS apps and email. The maker says built-in policies, rules, and models can discover sensitive information without configuration or training data, and that its combination of AI and pattern matching reaches 98% accuracy for PII, PCI, PHI, passwords, secrets, and tokens. The product builds a file-level inventory that can be prioritized by exposure, activity, density, metadata, size, and staleness. It can flag exposed or stale information, monitor suspicious activity, and alert on it. Other functions include correcting or applying labels, enhancing Microsoft classifications through MPIP, and finding personal information for legal or compliance review. Incremental scans check newly created or changed files. Varonis says its AI models can run on local compute so data need not leave the environment for scanning. Pricing is by quote.
