Varonis strengthens cloud security with data classification for Amazon S3. New capabilities provide granular, scalable data classification for S3 buckets, helping organizations reduce exposure of sensitive data.
Varonis Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ:VRNS), the specialist in data-centric cybersecurity, introduces new features to improve security and data transparency in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Unfortunately, data breaches due to misconfigured, publicly visible S3 buckets are not uncommon. Amazon Web Services (AWS) permissions are complex, difficult to manage, and constantly changing. For companies with sensitive information in S3, Varonis now offers continuous real-time protection of sensitive data with DatAdvantage Cloud and significantly reduces the risks.
More protection on AWS
Varonis for AWS supports a variety of cybersecurity and compliance use cases, providing comprehensive data visibility and security:
- Identification and classification of sensitive data stored in S3 buckets: The solution automatically detects where sensitive or regulated data resides in the AWS S3 buckets.
- Data disclosure prevention in AWS: Security officers can easily identify where sensitive data is exposed to too many users including external users and effectively prevent over-privilege.
- Determination of AWS misconfigurations: Company-wide policy violations and vulnerabilities can be reliably identified and the risk reduced.
- Threat detection and investigation in AWS: Security officers receive precise alerts about suspicious user behavior, such as B. Excessive bucket deletions or MFA disablement.
"AWS and Amazon S3 offer great scalability and performance, but it is the responsibility of companies to ensure the security of their data," says Michael Scheffler, Varonis Country Manager DACH. "Varonis for AWS extends native security capabilities by increasing visibility into where data is at risk and helping to proactively mitigate exposure."

About Varonis Since its founding in 2005, Varonis has taken a different approach than most IT security providers by placing company data stored both locally and in the cloud at the center of its security strategy: sensitive files and e-mails, confidential customer, patient and Employee data, financial data, strategy and product plans and other intellectual property. The Varonis data security platform (DSP) detects insider threats and cyber attacks through the analysis of data, account activities, telemetry and user behavior, prevents or limits data security breaches by locking sensitive, regulated and outdated data and maintains a secure state of the systems through efficient automation .,
