Varonis has introduced a breakthrough solution for database security with its Next-Gen Database Activity Monitoring (DAM), addressing critical gaps in compliance and breach prevention. This innovative approach eliminates the need for cumbersome agent-based systems, offering organizations faster deployment and superior protection for their most valuable data assets.
Modern enterprises rely on databases as the foundation of their operations, yet securing them has become increasingly complex. Traditional DAM solutions often fall short, burdened by outdated architectures that demand extensive resources and lengthy implementation cycles. Varonis disrupts this status quo with a cloud-native platform that delivers real-time monitoring, behavioral analytics, and automated threat response, all without requiring invasive agents.
According to Terry Ray, Varonis VP of Product Strategy, legacy systems frequently serve as little more than compliance checkmarks rather than robust security tools. “Agent-based solutions take years to deploy and require dedicated teams to manage,” he explains. “Our Next-Gen DAM flips the script, it’s fast, scalable, and actually prevents breaches instead of just documenting them.”
As artificial intelligence reshapes how businesses operate, Varonis introduces its Next-Gen Data Access Monitoring (DAM), a critical component now available within the Varonis Data Security Platform. This advanced solution offers unparalleled visibility into data access patterns by meticulously logging every database query, whether it originates from an on-premises server or a cloud environment. The comprehensive tracking helps organizations mitigate exposure risks and allows for swift action against emerging threats.
Designed to consolidate security across complex hybrid infrastructures, Next-Gen DAM supports major database systems like Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon RDS, Oracle, Snowflake, and Databricks, ensuring its utility for companies of any scale. By simplifying what was once a complex deployment process, Varonis helps enterprises fortify their data environments efficiently, shifting compliance from a mere checklist item to a proactive, active defense strategy.
