Varonis Systems, Inc (Nasdaq: VRNS), a data security company, has announced the expansion of its AI and machine learning capabilities with the launch of Athena AI, a generative AI layer that spans across the Varonis Data Security Platform.
According to an official release, Varonis Athena AI’s utilisation of natural language allows customers to conduct investigations and analysis. Reportedly, Athena AI provides a generative AI feature called AI SOC analyst, that supplies insights and actions to help one’s security team get to the cause of an alert, resolve incidents, and harden their environment. From what it’s understood, Athena AI combines large language models (LLMs) with Varonis’ context about an organisation’s data, identities, devices, and previous alerts to generate alert response playbooks. Moreover, Athena AI’s natural language search enables users to see and reduce users’ blast radius with Varonis.
“I believe Varonis is in a unique position. The metadata they collect and analyse seems to be proving to be invaluable for AI and automation. Now, they’re using generative AI to empower their customers to solve data security problems,” Ed Amoroso, founder and CEO, TAG Cyber, said.
