Securing your AWS environment with automated DSPM
summary
Varonis shows an automated DSPM workflow that inventories all sensitive data across AWS and SaaS, ties it to permissions and CloudTrail activity, and raises prioritized fixes rather than raw findings. Demonstrations cite measurements — almost half of companies have data exposed and 99% of cloud permissions are unused — and two incidents: one exposed PostgreSQL configuration that is remediated and proven not breached, another leaked an API key that triggers 13,000+ password changes.
