Expanded support for NoSQL databases

We've extended Varonis' leading DSPM capabilities to support managed NoSQL databases, including:

  • Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL
  • Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB
  • Amazon DocumentDB

With this coverage expansion, you can use Varonis to discover and classify sensitive data stored in these managed NoSQL databases, surface and automatically fix misconfigurations, identify exposure, and monitor activity to detect threats.

Varonis also now supports the discovery and classification of data in unmanaged MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas databases wherever they are deployed. 

Classify sensitive data and surface exposure across your NoSQL databases.

Remediate Salesforce Site guest exposure.

Misconfigured guest permissions on Salesforce Sites can expose sensitive data to the public. This means that any anonymous user with a link to the Site, or even malicious actors using open-source scanners, could access and exploit this data without requiring a direct link.

Varonis now identifies where sensitive Salesforce objects are exposed to unauthenticated guest users via public Sites and automatically fixes misconfigured guest user permissions that expose sensitive data publicly. 

This enables organizations to quickly remediate public exposures without having to take down the Site itself and disrupt the customer experience.
