Securing AI and the data that powers it 

G2’s Spring reports come on the heels of Varonis’ announcement of Varonis Atlas, end-to-end AI Security Platform that helps organizations see and control AI across the enterprise. 

At Varonis, we believe AI security must be rooted in data security. AI agents, copilots, and LLMs are now embedded in enterprise workflows. They read, write, and act on data at machine speed. However, most organizations don’t know which AI systems they have, what those systems can access, or whether they’re compliant with emerging regulations. 

Unlike point solutions that address isolated risks or focus only on discovery, Varonis Atlas brings together visibility, data context, and enforcement to give security leaders a single, simple control plane for AI risk. Organizations can secure everything they build and run with AI — across the entire lifecycle. Watch a full demo of Varonis Atlas to learn more.  

G2’s recognition and customer feedback underscore Varonis’ leadership in data security, proving it delivers the visibility, automation, and protection enterprises rely on to defend their data across today’s sprawling cloud environments.
