Azure Files support
Our latest update further expands Varonis’ extensive integration library by introducing support for Azure Files. With Varonis, customers can easily understand and minimize data risk in Azure file shares across cloud and on-prem deployments:
- Sensitive data discovery and classification: automatically find and classify sensitive data in your Azure file shares, see where it is concentrated and exposed, and prioritize remediation.
- Data access intelligence: see where data is accessible to too many people and remove access that’s not needed, limiting the blast radius of a potential attack.
- Event auditing: monitor SMB/CIFS shares, capture all the critical events you need, and — using enriched logs — accelerate cross-platform security investigations.
- Risk dashboards: use the File Server dashboards to identify key risk indicators in each Azure Files storage account, then easily drill into the diverse analytics pages to further investigate them.
- Reports and saved searches: assess the organization’s security posture and assist with compliance reporting.
Easily prioritize risk by seeing where sensitive data is concentrated in your Azure file shares and where it’s at risk.
Least privilege automation for Windows and CIFS
We’ve added global access group remediation for Windows file shares and CIFS-based filers to Varonis SaaS! Effortlessly remove data exposure from excessive permission sets like the “everyone” group and domain users. Varonis determines who needs access to data and who doesn’t, and then automatically replaces high-risk groups with tightly-managed groups — reducing your blast radius without interrupting business.
Easily clone and customize our pre-made policies to fit your organization’s needs and choose to run least privilege automation on demand or continually. Select the schedule and approvals, and least privilege automation will take care of the rest.
More ways to remove risky permissions in Microsoft 365
We have added several new automation policies to help you continuously eliminate data exposure from risky permissions in Microsoft 365.
New least privilege automation policies include:
- Removing direct permissions for dynamic groups
- Removing direct permissions for organization-wide groups
- Removing direct permissions for public groups
- Removing direct permissions for non-organization users
- Removing membership of disabled users from “specific people” collaboration links
- Removing membership of users with a predefined domain from "specific people” collaboration links

- Overexposed sensitive records
