Varonis Systems, Inc., a leader in AI-powered data security, has achieved a major milestone: FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization for its cloud-native Data Security Platform. This makes Varonis the first and only data security platform in its category to meet the stringent standards of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), positioning it as a trusted solution for federal and public-sector agencies nationwide.
A New Benchmark in Federal Data Security
FedRAMP is considered the gold standard for cloud security compliance in the U.S. government. Varonis’ certification follows a rigorous third-party assessment, demonstrating the platform’s adherence to strict cloud-hosted security standards. This designation is critical for federal agencies that must ensure compliance with frameworks like NIST 800-53 and mandates including OMB M-21-31, M-22-09, and CISA Zero Trust guidance.
AI-Powered Capabilities for the Public Sector
With its FedRAMP-authorized status, Varonis’ platform now offers public-sector organizations a secure, cloud-based solution to:
- Continuously discover and classify critical data, such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Automatically and continuously right-size access, reducing exposure to sensitive data
- Detect and respond to threats using AI-driven automation and behavior analytics
These capabilities align with Zero Trust principles and enhance data loss prevention, insider threat detection, and compliance efforts.
Executive Perspective
“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,” said Yaki Faitelson, CEO, President, and Co-founder of Varonis.
He emphasized that both public and private sector customers benefit from the platform’s speed to value, security automation, and compliance readiness.
What This Means for Government Agencies
Varonis is already trusted by government agencies and federal systems integrators for secure data access, insider threat detection, and regulatory compliance. Now, with FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, agencies can confidently expand adoption and accelerate safe AI rollouts with Varonis’ cloud-native platform.
Conclusion
Varonis’ FedRAMP Authorization marks a significant step forward for federal data security. With AI-powered automation, real-time classification, and unmatched compliance capabilities, the Varonis Data Security Platform is now a go-to solution for public-sector organizations aiming to secure sensitive data while enabling operational agility.
