By teaming up with Microsoft, Varonis aims to enhance the security framework around Microsoft Copilot implementation in Microsoft 365. Microsoft Copilot relies on existing Microsoft 365 permissions to formulate AI responses. Varonis’ Data Security Platform, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365, offers additional layers of data security management. It enables organizations to efficiently classify data on a large scale, implement Microsoft Purview Information Protection for data loss prevention, monitor sensitive data activities, and deploy various optimization strategies. This partnership provides a comprehensive approach to fortifying data security in the Microsoft 365 environment.
“Varonis’s integration gives customers the added security and compliance controls necessary to quickly and confidently adopt Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365,” said Anat Gil, partners lead with Microsoft South-East Europe.
The Varonis platform also enforces least-privilege access controls and finds and archives at-risk data.
“IT and security teams want to ensure that excessive permissions, collaboration links and mislabelled files won’t lead to unintentional data exposure when they deploy Copilot for Microsoft 365,” said David Bass, executive vice president of engineering and chief technology officer at Varonis. “We take that concern off the table so users can enjoy the power of Microsoft’s AI immediately.”
