Varonis is proud to announce that our cloud-based Data Security Platform has officially achieved FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization, marking a major milestone in our mission to protect sensitive government data.
FedRAMP authorization confirms that Varonis meets the federal government’s rigorous cloud security standards, enabling agencies to adopt our platform with confidence. Our solution continuously discovers and classifies sensitive data, eliminates unnecessary access, and detects threats in real time — all with automation and without disrupting operations.
This authorization reinforces our support for Zero Trust architecture, insider threat detection, data loss prevention, and compliance with mandates like NIST 800-53, OMB M-21-31, M-22-09, and CISA Zero Trust guidance. We empower public-sector organizations to secure their most critical data—at scale, in the cloud, and on-premises.
Varonis is proud to be a trusted partner to federal agencies, and this milestone underscores our commitment to advancing secure, data-centric operations across the government.
The importance of securing government data
Cyberattacks are a constant threat in today’s digital landscape, and securing government data is imperative.
Most organizations have security controls everywhere except their data, so insiders and attackers who bypass the perimeter can inflict massive damage. A single, successful breach can render agencies powerless, leaving sensitive government data vulnerable to unauthorized access and exploitation.
At Varonis, we understand the gravity of this responsibility. Our innovative, cloud-based Data Security Platform continuously discovers and classifies critical data, removes exposures, and detects threats to agencies and public sector organizations.
We focus on several key pillars:
- Granular data classification: Varonis helps agencies identify, classify, and prioritize their most sensitive data based on its importance, with built-in policies driving compliance, governance, and protection. We continuously scan your cloud and on-premises data stores with a vast library of built-in and custom classifiers, and our incremental scanning ensures you can classify your entire environment efficiently, scanning only new or changed files.
- Access intelligence: Get a real-time visual representation of identities with access to sensitive data and understand a user’s blast radius based on their effective permissions, not just entitlements.
- Proactive threat detection: Our continuous, real-time user activity monitoring allows us to identify suspicious behavior and potential data breaches before they occur. Our incident response team mitigates threats before they escalate into major incidents.
As a result, our government agencies and public-sector organizations can drastically reduce the likelihood of a data breach, all without manual effort…
