Partner Content Athena AI, the new generative AI layer that spans across the entire Varonis Data Security Platform, redefines how security teams protect data - from visibility to action.
With gen AI, attackers are faster, stealthier, and can more easily find what they want - your sensitive data.
In addition to tailored playbooks, Athena AI can answer questions about the data and environment Varonis monitors, helping companies quickly assess their security posture and risk surface.
Why Athena AI? Why did we name Varonis' gen AI layer, "Athena AI"? Athena is widely known in Greek mythology as the goddess of wisdom, but what she is perhaps most recognizable from is her aegis, or shield, that equips her for battle.
As the goddess of wisdom, war, and good counsel, Athena embodies everything security teams need to defend against cyberattacks.
At Varonis, we're fighting a different battle than conventional cybersecurity companies, helping companies defend what attackers want most - their data.
