Varonis integrates with AWS Security Hub to enhance cloud security

MIAMI/LAS VEGAS - Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS) announced Tuesday a new integration with AWS Security Hub that aims to provide security teams with improved visibility, automated remediation capabilities, and threat detection across AWS environments. The cybersecurity firm, which boasts impressive 80% gross profit margins and a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt according to InvestingPro data, continues to expand its cloud security offerings.

The integration enables Varonis to ingest prioritized findings from AWS Security Hub and add context regarding data sensitivity, identity, and user behavior to deliver a consolidated view of security risks.

"Together with AWS, we’re making it simpler and easier to secure data in the cloud," said David Bass, EVP of Engineering and CTO at Varonis, in a press release statement.

The integration offers several key capabilities including alert noise reduction through a unified risk view, automated remediation of misconfigurations, and end-to-end data security with discovery, classification, and threat detection features.

Varonis has expanded its automated remediation capabilities for AWS, which now include blocking public access to S3 buckets, removing inactive users and roles, and resolving critical misconfigurations such as missing password policies and encryption.

The company’s cloud-native Data Security Platform works across SaaS, IaaS, and hybrid cloud environments to discover and classify critical data, reduce exposures, and detect threats using AI-powered automation.

Varonis Systems, which describes itself as a leader in data security, offers solutions for various security outcomes including data security posture management, data classification, data access governance, and data detection and response. Despite its market position, the stock has fallen over 34% in the past six months, with technical indicators suggesting it may be oversold. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently trading at Fair Value, with analysts predicting profitability this year.

In other recent news, Varonis Systems has announced its integration with Microsoft Purview, aiming to enhance data security visibility across multiple platforms. This development allows organizations to monitor sensitive data beyond Microsoft environments, extending to third-party platforms like Salesforce. However, the company faced challenges with its third-quarter 2025 financial results. Varonis missed consensus expectations for revenue, annual recurring revenue (ARR), and billings, attributed to unexpected churn in federal and non-federal renewals.

Following these results, several analyst firms have adjusted their outlook on Varonis. Cantor Fitzgerald lowered its price target to $60 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Truist Securities also reduced its price target to $50, citing renewal weaknesses, but kept a Buy rating. DA Davidson decreased its target to $40, maintaining a Neutral rating due to the ARR miss and reduced guidance. Needham, maintaining a Buy rating, lowered its price target to $55 after Varonis missed ARR expectations by approximately $1 million and reduced its 2025 ARR guidance by $17 million.
