  • Varonis Systems (VRNS, Financial) has become the first Data Security Platform to achieve FedRAMP Authorization.
  • This certification validates Varonis' platform meets stringent security requirements for U.S. federal agencies.
  • The achievement opens significant business opportunities in both the public sector and among security-conscious private enterprises.

Varonis Systems (NASDAQ: VRNS) has achieved a significant milestone as it becomes the first Data Security Platform to receive Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Authorization. This certification confirms that Varonis' cloud-native platform meets rigorous security standards required for U.S. federal agencies, positioning it as a preferred choice for both public sector organizations and private enterprises that demand high security standards.

The FedRAMP Moderate Authorization was granted following an exhaustive third-party assessment, demonstrating Varonis' compliance with multiple federal mandates such as NIST 800-53, OMB M-21-31, M-22-09, and CISA Zero Trust guidance. This positions Varonis with a competitive advantage in the federal procurement landscape, differentiating it as the only certified data security platform in its category.

Yaki Faitelson, CEO, President, and Co-founder of Varonis, emphasized the importance of the certification, stating, "FedRAMP is the gold standard, and Varonis is the first and only FedRAMP-certified Data Security Platform — making us the clear choice for organizations that need to reduce their blast radius, respond to threats, and help prevent data breaches."

This certification allows federal agencies to deploy Varonis' platform without conducting additional comprehensive security reviews, effectively accelerating procurement cycles. The certification also enables Varonis to participate in federal contract vehicles, potentially expanding its revenue streams through large, multi-year federal contracts.

Varonis' capabilities include continuous critical data discovery and classification, automated access management, and AI-powered threat detection, supporting federal compliance and advancing security postures. With the FedRAMP Authorization, Varonis has expanded its market reach and solidified its position as a leader in data security.
