Box Zones support

Varonis now enables customers to select and protect specific Box Zones — instead of the entire Box environment. This feature allows security teams to selectively monitor certain geographic zones, providing a more targeted view of user activity and data management to help comply with data residency regulations.

Integrate and monitor specific Box Zones.

Non-human identity tagging

Varonis automatically tags digital entities not associated with individual users, such as AWS IAM roles, third-party apps, and service principals, with a "non-human" identity tag. These entities are often automated or system-level identities that require additional monitoring due to their potential for elevated access.

Automatically identify and tag non-human identities across SaaS and IaaS environments.
