Today, we announced the introduction of agentic AI to enhance the efforts of our world-class experts to provide customers with 24x7 data defense.

Modern attackers are weaponizing AI to overwhelm security teams. AI-automated phishing campaigns, for example, are as effective as expert-created campaigns but can be executed at a much greater scale. Security teams are facing a steep increase in phishing campaigns, brute-force attacks, and infiltration attempts.  The only way to stay ahead is to fight AI with AI.

The addition of agentic AI is helping to power our industry-leading Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR) offering. Faced with this influx of AI attacks, we ensure that customers have experts—empowered with the right tools—to protect their data at all times.

Agentic AI Enhances Industry-Leading MDDR

Varonis MDDR is a turnkey solution that solves the challenge of protecting sensitive data automatically. We seamlessly integrate with your team and escalate incidents only when needed. When threat actors bypass endpoint and perimeter defenses, Varonis is an organization’s last and only line of defense.

Now, agentic AI augments the efforts of our experts, enabling them to respond faster and with greater context to threats.

Varonis agents perform tasks such as correlating log data, associating IP addresses with known threat actors, and eliminating noise so human analysts can focus on more complex tasks. Agents perform analysis and actions instantly and improve over time by actively learning from historical incidents and analyst feedback.

Agentic AI performs critical analysis and actions in a matter of seconds.

MDDR combines Varonis' award-winning threat detection technology and automation with a global team of elite threat hunters, forensics analysts, and incident responders. With MDDR, you have a team ready to investigate and respond to threats 24x7x365.

MDDR provides our customers with the assurance that their data is monitored around the clock:

  • An industry-best SLA. Varonis MDDR offers a 30-minute response for ransomware attacks and a 120-minute response for all other alerts. The service also includes proactive threat hunting and monthly security assessments to ensure your data security posture is constantly improving.
  • Immediate time-to-value. Up and running in hours, not days or weeks, MDDR is a turnkey solution that solves the challenge of protecting sensitive data automatically. We’ll seamlessly integrate with your team and escalate incidents only when needed.
  • AI-driven investigations. Even before adding agentic AI, MDDR leveraged proprietary data insights and AI analysis to automate investigations. For further investigation and mitigation, critical alerts are sent to Varonis’ expert team.

MDDR, now enhanced with agentic AI, is delivered on top of Varonis's cloud-native Data Security Platform. Reach out to your Varonis representative, or see Varonis in action by scheduling your 30-minute demo and see how Varonis MDDR can help secure your organization.
