Awesome research on the Future of Data Security and AI from a practitioner Darwin Salazar who has dealt with data security challenges up close from multiple angles, including leading HITRUST compliance initiatives and building medical device-to-cloud pipelines at Johnson & Johnson, consulting on PCI DSS engagements for Fortune 500 clients, and crafting cloud misconfiguration detection rules at Datadog. "Why Varonis? I don't partner with vendors lightly, especially for reports of this gravity. I decided to collaborate with Varonis on this report because after monitoring the data security space for years, they consistently stood out, not only for their product innovation velocity, but also how they stay ahead of emerging threats while solving real problems security teams face today. Their research team is also continuously finding vulns in critical enterprise apps like the recent data inference vuln in Service Now." "Disclaimer This isn't a sales pitch or a recommendation to buy Varonis. However, to me, they exemplify what the right approach to data security should look like in 2025 and beyond. Whether you choose Varonis or another solution, the principles and capabilities outlined here represent the baseline for data security strategies in the AI era. "Varonis has been doing data security for over 20 years, long before it was trendy. They're the established market leaders with 8,000+ customers and industry recognition to prove it. But unlike many legacy vendors, they haven't gotten complacent. Instead, they've doubled down on their original vision to account for AI and emerging threats while maintaining their core strength in data security. This collaboration made sense because Varonis has been building the future of data security for decades. After spending years helping Fortune 500 organizations navigate similar challenges, I wanted to work with the vendor that's at the forefront of data security." "Inside Varonis: A Leader's Approach to Data Security" Check out his amazing, in-depth research on the future of data security and AI in the blog link in the comments below Hint, the solution to protect data is not a startup dspm, not failed roadmap promises from these products, not trying to use a privacy product's classification sampling approach to find some data. Enough of the marketing noise, the cybersecurity market is already littered with that. We don't need more NOISE. Let's call a spade a spade and get back to reality of protecting data in real time. #varonis #datasecurity #aisecurity #cloudsecurity #datasecurityplatform

Compliance should shape tech decisions early. In medical, manufacturing, and legal, the wrong cloud or infrastructure choice can create costly lock-in. A design-before-buy approach helps CIOs reduce risk, control spend, and stay aligned with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or ISO27001 needs. If you are evaluating a new platform, let’s talk before you commit. https://lnkd.in/eFxaQ2dw
