Varonis Systems, a pioneer in data security, has announced a strategic integration with AWS Security Hub that is purposed to provide better visibility, automate remediation, and detect threats across the AWS environment and wider data estates. The integration gives security teams the power to break through alert fatigue, concentrate on real threats, and harden overall security posture.
“Together with AWS, we’re making it simpler and easier to secure data in the cloud,” said David Bass, EVP of Engineering and CTO at Varonis. “By combining powerful insights and critical context on data and how it’s used, customers can quickly understand where data is at risk, remediate exposure and misconfigurations, and keep sensitive data safer.”
Addressing Alert Overload with Contextualized Risk
Security teams have to identify the real threats from noise, as the volume of alerts coming from clouds is just growing. The integration of Varonis with AWS Security Hub ingests prioritized findings and enriches them with context around data sensitivity, user identity, and behavior, presenting a unified view of risk. This strengthens breach prevention with a data-centric approach and quickens incident response.

Expanding Automation of Cloud Security
Varonis continues to scale its AWS automation capabilities, enabling actions such as blocking public access to S3 buckets, retiring obsolete users and roles, and resolving critical issues like insufficient password policies or lack of encryption. These enhancements are part of Varonis’ ongoing effort to simplify effective cloud security at scale.
