Varonis Systems, Inc. (VRNS), a leader in data security, announced at the RSA Conference the integration of agentic AI capabilities into its Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR) service. This strategic enhancement directly addresses the growing threat of cyber adversaries who utilize AI to launch sophisticated automated attacks.
The new AI agents, operating autonomously, perform a series of approved security tasks such as log data correlation, IP address threat actor association, and noise elimination. These functions support Varonis' human analysts by relieving them of routine duties, thus enabling them to address more complex security challenges effectively.
CEO Yaki Faitelson underscores the value of this innovation, describing it as an "army of hyper-efficient robots" that work alongside expert analysts to protect customer data. The system's continuous improvement through learning from historical incidents and analyst feedback facilitates a robust 24x7 monitoring framework.
The agentic AI feature is now readily available as a native capability within the Varonis MDDR offering, marking a significant step forward in the company's technological leadership in cybersecurity. This development enhances Varonis' competitive position by aligning with market demands for automated and AI-powered security solutions.
