What is SSE
SSE is one-half of this broader architecture that combines networking and security tools.
What is SASE?
While SSE focuses on app-level permissions, Varonis provides visibility into this level of permissions.
What are granular permissions on data?
This SSE deployment model is known for being challenging to maintain and time-intensive to set up.
What is the inline model?
Varonis combines UEBA with this type of control to enhance security.
What are RBAC controls?
This Microsoft product offers endpoint protection but doesn’t have the comprehensive data security features that Varonis provides
What is Microsoft Defender?
These four components make up SSE.
What are CASB, Secure Web Gateway, Firewall-as-a-Service, and Zero Trust Network Access?
Varonis uses this method to detect insider threats, setting it apart from traditional SSE solutions.
What is User Behavior Analytics (UBA)?
SSE cannot proactively identify threats before this event occurs.
Answer: What is data exfiltration?
Varonis’s platform provides deep visibility into permissions at this level.
What is the file level?
This company, known for its cloud security solutions, is a direct competitor to Varonis in the SSE space. They are a jack of all trades but where they lack is limited data classification and weak threat detection.
What is Netskope?
This SSE component provides visibility and control over data stored in and accessed from cloud services.
What is CASB?
This Varonis feature automatically detects sensitive data across the entire environment.
What is data discovery and classification?
SSE primarily alerts on exfiltration activity but lacks insight into these critical user actions.
What are external user actions?
Varonis helps organizations identify risk by mapping this across multiple cloud applications.
What are cross-cloud permissions and identities?
This cybersecurity company, formed from the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, offers advanced threat detection but lacks deep data security capabilities like Varonis. They are DLP for the cloud, with no hybrid support.
What is Trellix?
This component of SSE is responsible for secure, policy-based access to applications.
What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?
Varonis helps organizations reduce this by shrinking the blast radius of a breach.
What is risk?
The API model of SSE has this key limitation:
What is limited functionality?
This Varonis approach works to reduce risk by shrinking the blast radius of a breach.
What is Least Privilege Escalation?
This company is a leader in email security, but it doesn’t offer the same level of data-centric security as Varonis
What is Proofpoint
SSE secures access to these three main areas of IT infrastructure.
Answer: What are the web, cloud services, and private applications?
Varonis can proactively detect threats before they occur, while SSE primarily alerts on this type of activity.
What is exfiltration activity?
SSE creates these types of alerts due to its focus on network and application traffic.
Answer: What are low-fidelity alerts?
Varonis can automatically take this action to remediate risk across the environment.
What is enforcing automated policies?
Known for its cloud security platform, this company focuses on secure access but doesn’t provide Varonis’s granular data visibility and does not provide management for access.
What is Zscaler?
