Varonis Launches Third-Party App Risk Management
Reduce your cloud attack surface by discovering and remediating risky third-party integrations connected to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce
NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: VRNS), a leader in data security, announced third-party application risk management today at the RSA Conference 2023. This new capability, offered as part of Varonis' DSPM solution, gives security teams centralized visibility and control over apps with access to their corporate cloud data.
Every third-party app expands the attack surface, especially when installed by end users without oversight or approval. IT security teams lack universal visibility into which apps are connected to their corporate SaaS platforms, the permissions they have, and their activity.
Varonis automatically discovers third-party apps and can remove risky connections. Varonis evaluates each app's risk profile, analyzes its permissions and usage, and quantifies the security impact an app poses to the organization. Security teams can remove specific users or apps altogether to control risk and reduce costs.
"Rich app ecosystems like the Salesforce AppExchange and the Azure Marketplace help users get work done, but third-party apps can introduce risk to corporate SaaS data," said David Bass, Executive Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, Varonis. "This new capability gives Varonis customers yet another way to automatically shut down attack paths to mission-critical cloud data."
This new capability expands Varonis' industry-leading data security platform, giving customers the ability to improve their cloud data security posture by automatically:
- Discovering and classifying sensitive data
- Detecting and responding to abnormal behavior
- Removing excessive permissions and sharing links
- Finding and fixing critical misconfigurations
- Mitigating third-party app and supply chain risk
Varonis' SaaS platform is making automated outcomes a reality for customers. Recently, Varonis launched , an expert team of cybersecurity professionals who watch and investigate customer alerts as part of the Varonis SaaS subscription. Varonis also introduced to help customers effortlessly remediate security and compliance gaps across their SaaS and IaaS environments, and announced for Microsoft 365, Google Drive, and Box.
