As AI adoption accelerates, so do the risks. In our State of Data Security Report, we discovered that 99% of organizations have exposed sensitive data that can easily be surfaced by AI.
For CISOs and IT leaders, the challenge is clear: How do you empower your organization with AI while ensuring the protection of sensitive data?
That’s why Varonis is joining forces with Microsoft to help secure the next generation of workplace AI.
This agreement lays out an engineering-led plan to solve one of the foundational challenges of the AI era — preventing AI tools, agents, and LLMs from accessing unauthorized data.
Designed for the AI era
Varonis has long been at the forefront of data security innovation. Our world-class SaaS architecture, built on Microsoft Azure, already protects the world’s most sensitive data — and now, it’s powering secure AI adoption.
Together with Microsoft, we’re deepening the integration between our unified Data Security Platform and Microsoft’s security portfolio, including Microsoft Purview. The result? Automated, enterprise-wide protection for sensitive data across Microsoft 365, Azure, and beyond.
Securing AI at scale
This partnership brings together the best of both worlds:
- Unified data classification and policy enforcement across Microsoft and leading SaaS platforms like Salesforce, Databricks, and ServiceNow.
- Granular access intelligence and automated remediation to stop data exposure before it becomes a breach.
- Confidence to adopt AI — knowing your data is protected by the leaders in security and compliance.
Built for the enterprise
This partnership gives security and IT teams the visibility and control they need to confidently scale AI across the enterprise.
We're combining Microsoft's innovation in AI with Varonis' deep expertise in data security to accelerate secure AI adoption.
As Nick Parker, Microsoft President of Industry and Partnerships, explains:
Through our collaboration with Varonis, we are empowering customers to embrace AI securely and confidently with enterprise-wide data security and governance powered by Microsoft Purview and Varonis."
