Varonis Enhances Data Security Platform
Varonis Systems has announced Varonis Identity Protection, the latest enhancement to its Data Security Platform that gives organizations unified visibility and control of data and identities. Most identity security tools operate in a vacuum — with no understanding of the critical data each identity can access or how they're accessing it. Varonis connects the dots between identities and data, helping organizations automatically reduce access to their most sensitive data, fix identity posture issues, and stop identity-based threats — including those originating from insiders, stolen credentials, and AI tools and agents. Unlike traditional identity products, Varonis understands the blast radius of every identity — showing how much data would be exposed if an identity were compromised. Varonis Identity Protection distinguishes between human and non-human identities, classifies them as internal, guest, external, or privileged, and monitors how they interact with data to detect anomalies. 'Identity and data are deeply intertwined — securing one without the other leaves dangerous gaps,' said Varonis CEO, President, and Co-Founder Yaki Faitelson. 'By unifying identity and data security, Varonis gives customers the context they need to better ensure identity threats don't become data breaches.' Key Capabilities of Varonis Identity Protection: Machine Learning-Based Identity Classification: Varonis integrates with Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, and others to map user accounts across environments. Using machine learning, Varonis auto-classifies identities — tagging executives, privileged users, service accounts, non-human identities, and more. Varonis integrates with Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, and others to map user accounts across environments. Using machine learning, Varonis auto-classifies identities — tagging executives, privileged users, service accounts, non-human identities, and more. Peer Analysis & User Behavior Analysis: Varonis continuously analyzes peer behavior to detect anomalies in identity usage, flagging deviations from normal patterns to surface risky activity earlier. Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR): Varonis monitors identity providers for signs of compromise, alerting on suspicious logins, password resets, MFA changes, and policy updates — in context with each account's data access activity. Identity Posture Management With Automated Remediation: Varonis flags stale contractor accounts, excessive permissions, and missing MFA — then automatically remediates risks by revoking access, removing entitlements, and eliminating ghost accounts. Varonis was recently named a Leader in Identity Threat Detection and Response by GigaOm, recognizing the platform's advanced detection and automated response capabilities. These identity capabilities also enhance Varonis Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR), enabling our expert analysts to detect and respond to a broader range of threats faster and more effectively across customer environments.

RSA Announces New Windows Desktop Login and Entra ID Passwordless Solutions
LAS VEGAS, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced new innovations that expand RSA's complete passwordless solutions, including support for Microsoft Entra ID-joined desktops and legacy, RADIUS-based environments at Identiverse today. These innovations help organizations accelerate deployment of phishing-resistant passwordless solutions across their entire environment, reducing risks, modernizing authentication, and driving efficiency. Available as part of RSA® ID Plus, the only complete passwordless identity security platform, new passwordless features include: Passwordless support for Windows Desktop Login and Entra ID: ID Plus now supports mobile passkeys and QR codes to complete Windows log-in. ID Plus will add Entra ID support in July. One-step enrollment process: Starting in July, users will be able to enroll new RSA mobile passkeys and other RSA MFA methods via a one-step enrollment process that eliminates delays and reduces help desk support costs. Code matching for RADIUS: Organizations operating in RADIUS environments can now deploy code matching to reduce the risk of prompt bombing and ensure legacy architecture stays operational. These new passwordless enhancements are fortified by deep security innovations that extend organizations' defenses and protect against post-passwordless threats. The newly-announced RSA Help Desk Live Verify (patent pending), only available through ID Plus, uses passwordless bi-directional identity verification to stop help desk scams like the recent attacks on Marks & Spencer, Christian Dior, Co-Op, and MGM Resorts. RSA Mobile Lock secures the authentication process itself by scanning devices for app tampering, malware, sideloading, jailbreaking, and AiTM attacks. "Not all passwordless is created equal: government agencies, finance, energy and healthcare providers, and other security-first organizations need a passwordless solution for all users, environments, and devices," said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai. "Moreover, to defend against emerging threats, organizations must integrate passwordless into an identity security platform that provides full visibility into user access while constantly assessing identity security posture. Cyberattacks start wherever organizations' security capabilities end, which is why high-security organizations rely on RSA for a complete identity security platform that stops phishing, malware help desk scams, ransomware, and other attacks before they start." Identiverse attendees are invited to demo these new solutions at booth #342.

Varonis launches unified identity protection platform
Varonis has announced the introduction of Varonis Identity Protection, an enhancement to its Data Security Platform that aims to provide organisations with unified visibility and control of data and identities. The company stated that most existing identity security tools operate independently, lacking knowledge of the specific data each identity is authorised to access and the methods by which data is accessed. The new Varonis offering seeks to connect these aspects, enabling organisations to reduce unnecessary access to sensitive data, address identity posture issues, and counter identity-based threats including those from insiders, stolen credentials, and artificial intelligence tools and agents. Varonis Identity Protection sets itself apart from traditional identity products through its capability to calculate the potential data exposure, known as the blast radius, for every identity should it be compromised. The system distinguishes between human and non-human identities, classifies them as internal, guest, external, or privileged, and monitors their interactions with company data in order to detect anomalous behaviour. "Identity and data are deeply intertwined — securing one without the other leaves dangerous gaps." He continued, "By unifying identity and data security, Varonis gives customers the context they need to better ensure identity threats don't become data breaches," Yaki Faitelson, Varonis Chief Executive Officer, President, and Co-Founder, said. Key features of Varonis Identity Protection highlighted by the company include machine learning-based identity classification, continuous user behaviour analysis, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), and identity posture management with automated remediation. The solution integrates with identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta, and Active Directory to map user accounts across environments. By employing machine learning, Varonis automatically classifies identities by tagging executive roles, privileged users, service accounts, and non-human identities, among others. Through peer analysis and continuous user behaviour monitoring, Varonis detects anomalies in how identities are used, flagging deviations from typical patterns to identify potentially risky activity at an earlier stage. The platform's identity threat detection and response capabilities enable the monitoring of identity providers for indicators of compromise. This includes alerting on suspicious login attempts, unexpected password resets, changes in multi-factor authentication, and policy adjustments, all contextualised with each account's data access history. Varonis Identity Protection's posture management features allow it to identify issues such as stale contractor accounts, excessive permissions, and missing multi-factor authentication. The platform then automatically mitigates these risks by revoking access, removing entitlements, and eliminating unused accounts. The capability enhancements to identity protection also extend to Varonis Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR). With these improvements, Varonis analysts are able to detect and address a wider array of threats more rapidly and effectively across customer environments. Varonis was recently named a Leader in Identity Threat Detection and Response by research and analysis firm GigaOm, with specific recognition for the platform's detection and automated response capabilities.
