Varonis Launches Atlas to Secure AI and the Data That Powers It

Varonis is proud to announce the general availability of Varonis Atlas, an end-to-end AI Security Platform that helps organizations see and control AI across the enterprise.

Atlas is the only platform that covers the entire AI security lifecycle — from discovery and posture management to runtime protection and compliance — in a single solution. It connects to any AI system organizations build or run: hosted AI platforms, custom LLMs, agentic frameworks, chatbots, and embedded AI. And because Atlas is built on the Varonis Data Security Platform, it brings data context that no standalone AI security tool can match. 

“AI completely disrupts the enterprise security model. Instead of humans clicking through UIs, agents are accessing data directly — and this places data and AI security front and center,” said Yaki Faitelson, CEO and Co-founder of Varonis. “If you can’t see what AI systems you have and what sensitive data they can reach, you can’t safely use AI at scale. Varonis Atlas gives organizations the fastest path to safe and trustworthy AI.” 

Your fastest path to safe and trustworthy AI

AI agents, copilots, and LLMs are now embedded in enterprise workflows. They read, write, and act on data at machine speed. However, most organizations don’t know which AI systems they have, what those systems can access, or whether they’re compliant with emerging regulations.

Gartner® recently wrote a report, the Future of AI Security is in Securing Agent Actions, Not Prompts, and in their analysis, researchers discovered that over 50% of organizations have already begun deploying or plan to deploy AI agents. Organizations are also building with AI. 

The report predicts AI security platforms will be used in 30% of organizations to secure agent development within AI-native software engineering, as the growing majority of enterprise software relies on agentic coding tools.

As enterprises deploy more autonomous and agentic AI systems, risk escalates:

This is why AI security must be rooted in data security, and why Varonis Atlas exists. Atlas secures everything you build and run with AI. Let's take a deeper look at these capabilities. 

Atlas AI security capabilities 

AI Inventory and Shadow AI 

Varonis Atlas provides continuous discovery of all AI systems across the enterprise, including sanctioned tools, custom-built agents, embedded AI, and shadow AI used without formal approval. By scanning cloud accounts, code repositories, AI platforms, and SaaS usage, Atlas builds a living inventory that shows what AI exists, how it’s connected, what data it can access, and what actions it can take — forming the foundation for every other AI security control. 

AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) 

Atlas AI Security Posture Management continuously assesses AI systems for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, sensitive data exposure, and agentic risks across the entire AI stack. It analyzes code, prompts, models, dependencies, and configurations to surface concrete security issues and links them directly back to the AI assets and data they affect. This comprehensive approach allows teams to remediate risk before AI systems reach production or scale.  

AI Pen Testing 

Atlas proactively stress tests AI systems by executing adversarial prompts and dynamic attacks against live LLM endpoints. Only through runtime analysis can teams uncover all possible issues. These tests, therefore, simulate real-world threats such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, and policy bypass attempts, then record unsafe behaviors as concrete security findings tied directly to the affected models, agents, and configurations. 

AI Runtime Guardrails 

Atlas enforces real-time guardrails through an AI Gateway that sits in the live request path, inspecting prompts, responses, and agent actions before they reach the model or downstream systems. These controls prevent sensitive data leakage, block malicious or noncompliant behavior, and generate real-time alerts — without requiring changes to the underlying AI application or model.  

AI Compliance and Governance 

Atlas operationalizes AI governance by continuously mapping AI systems to regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. The platform generates audit-ready reports, maintains lineage and transparency artifacts, and tracks risk assessments and remediation status—turning compliance from a one-time exercise into an ongoing, evidence-backed process.

AI Third-Party Risk Management (AI TPRM) 

Varonis Atlas extends AI security beyond internally built systems to include the AI services, models, and platforms organizations consume through their supply chain. It continuously assesses third-party AI vendors by combining their AI inventory or AI Bills of Materials (AIBOM) with vendor questionnaire responses to understand how external AI systems handle data and possibly create risk due to specific dependencies. This enables organizations to identify, track, and remediate third-party AI risk as part of a unified AI security lifecycle.  

AI Activity Monitoring 

Atlas AI Activity Monitoring provides end-to-end visibility into how AI systems behave in production by capturing prompts, responses, agent actions, data access, and guardrail decisions. Through a customer-owned observability layer and centralized dashboards, security and governance teams can understand how AI is used, detect anomalous behavior, and investigate incidents with full execution context across models, agents, and tools.  

AI Detection & Response (AIDR) 

Varonis Atlas delivers AI Detection and Response (AIDR) by identifying malicious, unsafe, or noncompliant AI behavior across models, agents, tools, and data flows in real time. When threats such as prompt injections or jailbreak attempts are detected, Atlas generates actionable alerts, blocks activity inline when needed, and integrates with SIEM and SOAR platforms to support rapid investigation and response.  

Secure AI and the data that powers it  

AI security cannot live in silos or point solutions. It demands a unified approach that connects to the data that AI depends on. As organizations scale AI they also scale exposure. The only way forward is security that understands both how AI behaves and what data it can reach.

“Most AI security tools are fragmented and data-blind. They can inventory your AI systems or monitor prompts, but they can’t see what sensitive data AI is accessing or control what it does with that data. That’s the real risk, and is exactly what Atlas and the Varonis Data Security Platform solve together.”
