U.S. Government Agency Case Study on Varonis Implementation

This case study details the implementation of the Varonis Data Security Platform by a U.S. government agency to secure Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within a hybrid environment. The agency faced challenges in protecting sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from potential threats posed by insiders and external actors, while also needing to comply with federal CUI mandates. Initially relying on in-house PowerShell scripts for security checks, the agency recognized the need for greater visibility and a more efficient solution as they transitioned to Microsoft 365. The Varonis platform provided automated data classification, risk identification, and compliance support, significantly enhancing the agency's security posture. The results included time savings during security incidents, improved security at reduced costs, and ongoing support from Varonis, allowing the agency to confidently pursue more sensitive projects and implement a Zero-Trust architecture. The case study emphasizes the effectiveness of Varonis in managing security and compliance in a complex hybrid environment.
