Varonis | January 27, 2023
On January 26, 2023, Varonis Systems, Inc., a leader in data security and analytics, announced the availability of automated posture management to assist clients in resolving security and compliance gaps spanning their SaaS and IaaS systems.
Varonis continuously scans, identifies, and ranks cloud security threats, providing CISOs and compliance officers with real-time insight into their data security posture. With this new automation option, users can fix misconfigurations in applications such as Salesforce and AWS with a single click from a unified interface.
According to Gartner, through 2025, 99% of cloud security breaches will be the customer's fault. CIOs can counter this by adopting and enforcing rules for cloud ownership, accountability, and risk acceptance.
Varonis Field CTO, Brian Vecci, said, “Automated posture management takes the burden of understanding and remediating cloud misconfigurations off the customer.” He also said, “We stay on top of the latest configuration risks and best practices, so you don’t have to. Now, we can not only show you exactly how to improve your security posture, but we can also automatically mitigate risk on your behalf.”

This release marks a significant advancement in cloud data security. Passive data security posture management (DSPM) solutions need manual operations to generate help desk tickets for a person to review and fix in every cloud application manually. Varonis offers a uniform and automated method for minimizing the attack surface of multi-cloud environments.
Automated posture management is the most recent tool introduced by Varonis to simplify data security outcomes. Varonis introduced least privilege automation for Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and Box, as well as a new data security posture management (DSPM) dashboard early this month.

SailPoint | January 13, 2023
On January 12, 2023, SailPoint Technologies, Inc., a leading identity security enterprise, announced the acquisition of SecZetta, a prominent third-party identity risk solutions provider. With around half of today's firms comprising non-employees, organizations need to factor this rising group of identities into their identity security strategies.
By incorporating SecZetta, SailPoint will be able to expand its capabilities to assist businesses in gaining greater visibility into all types of identities, including both employee and non-employee identities, ranging from third-party contractors to temporary workers, and all this from a single, market-leading identity security platform. This acquisition will provide businesses with the centralized approach needed as well as the required identity verification to thoroughly validate non-employee identities across their organizations.
SailPoint and SecZetta have a long-established partnership, and once SecZetta's solutions get fully integrated into SailPoint's Identity Security Cloud platform, SailPoint will deliver a unified platform to its customers, providing context-rich identity information with an appropriate level of intelligence answering the "who should have access to what," "why," and "when" questions for this unique, often under-secured set of identities.
The addition of SecZetta will allow SailPoint to assist businesses with identity consolidation efforts, combining and arranging workforce data across authoritative sources into a consolidated identity repository. This identity intelligence will then be made available as a packaged offering within the identity security cloud platform in order to provide a more extensive identity security that provides the critical layer of risk management and governance required across employee and non-employee identities from a single platform.
