Securiti maps your data and supports privacy workflows. It won't tell you who's abusing access, stop a threat in progress, or automatically close the doors an attacker would use.
Varonis does all three. We correlate sensitive data with who can reach it, continuously eliminate unnecessary access, and detect threats in real time, turning data visibility into active protection.

Securiti focuses on governance, not active protection
Securiti centers on data discovery and privacy program management. It supports compliance workflows, but lacks behavioral threat detection and automated enforcement.
Varonis continuously monitors access and activity, detects abnormal behavior, and automatically enforces least privilege without relying on manual workflows.
Why it matters: Recovery is not prevention. Real-time monitoring and automated remediation reduce blast radius and stop breaches before an undo button is ever needed.
Securiti relies on workflow-driven remediation
Securiti surfaces exposure and routes remediation through workflows, tickets, and integrations.
Varonis automatically removes excessive permissions and reduces overexposure without requiring manual coordination across teams.
Why it matters: Risk reduction shouldn't depend on tickets and follow-ups. Automation is the only way to shrink attack surface at scale.
Securiti can't stop active threats like ransomware
Securiti has no behavioral threat detection, no real-time activity monitoring, and no forensic investigation layer. It cannot surface insider threats, compromised accounts, ransomware activity, or active data exfiltration.
Varonis audits every data access event, applies advanced behavioral analytics across users and service accounts, and backs every customer with 24x7x365 Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR) to investigate anomalies and contain incidents before data is lost.
Why it matters: When an active threat is in your environment, posture visibility alone doesn't stop it. Detection, response, and forensics do.
"We’ve set up malware recognition and automated remediation. If we detect malware on one of our servers, it immediately locks down that client session, logs them out, and notifies us."

CIO, TPMG
"Varonis is the sole reason we were able to react so quickly, especially since the alert was detected outside of business hours. We were able to immediately understand and identify where the ransomware behavior occurred. It allowed us to invoke countermeasures and thus prevent the behavior from traversing through our network."
Al Faella
CTO, Prospect Capital
"It’s obvious Varonis is innovating at a rapid pace. They’re being very, very aggressive and making improvements to the platform that I can see on a week-to-week basis. It’s pretty amazing."

“I was amazed by how quickly Varonis was able to classify data and uncover potential data exposures during the free assessment. It was truly eye-opening.”
Michael Smith, CISO
"What I like about Varonis is that they come from a data-centric place. Other products protect the infrastructure, but they do nothing to protect your most precious commodity — your data."
