Data security leader adds new Copilot functionality to its platform to ensure continuous AI security and compliance
Varonis offers security solution for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Varonis’ new offering builds on its existing Microsoft 365 security suite, adding new capabilities to monitor Copilot data access in real time, detect abnormal Copilot interactions, and automatically limit sensitive data accessible by both humans and AI agents.
“Strong data security posture is necessary to roll out Copilot safely.”
Varonis EVP of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer David Bass
Varonis for Microsoft 365 Copilot features:
- Copilot posture dashboards. Get a real-time view of sensitive and regulated data exposed to Copilot users, analyze usage trends, and track sensitive data accessed by AI.
- Copilot policy automation. Enforce security policies to continuously limit Copilot’s access to sensitive information and prevent accidental data leakage. Automatically apply sensitivity labels to data created by Copilot.
- Copilot monitoring and forensics. Varonis collects and enriches Copilot events so you can answer questions such as, “Which users accessed sensitive financial data via Copilot this week?”
- Copilot threat detection. Varonis’ user behavior analysis (UBA) engine factors in Copilot activity and notifies customers of abnormal or suspicious Copilot interactions with sensitive data.
- Athena AI integration. Varonis for Microsoft 365 Copilot works with Athena AI’s SOC assistant and natural language search, making it easy to investigate and resolve Copilot-related security incidents.
“Strong data security posture is necessary to roll out Copilot safely,” said Varonis EVP of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer David Bass. “However, once you deploy, you need ongoing visibility into what Copilot is doing, what sensitive data it’s accessing, and the ability to detect abnormal behavior and policy violations in real time. Varonis for Microsoft 365 Copilot does that.”
