Varonis Systems, Inc. to acquire AllTrue.AI to add AI TRiSM capabilities

Varonis Systems, Inc. said it would acquire AllTrue.Artificial Intelligence (AI) to strengthen its ability to help organizations adopt safe, compliant and trustworthy AI at scale.

Varonis said companies had deployed AI models, copilots, and agents at scale and that those systems were making autonomous decisions and acting on data at machine speed, a shift the company described as creating a new class of risk when visibility, governance, or guardrails were not in place.

Varonis said AllTrue.AI brought real-time visibility and security for AI systems and that AllTrue complemented Varonis’ understanding of enterprise data, identities, and access; the companies described the combined platform as extending the ability to see and protect what organizations built and Radio Access Network (RAN) with AI.

Varonis said the combined platform would map AI systems and enforce guardrails across them. “AI can behave unpredictably,” said Yaki Faitelson, CEO and co-founder of Varonis. “If you don’t know which AI systems you have, what they’re doing, or what data they can touch, you can’t safely use AI. By combining AllTrue’s AI visibility and enforcement with Varonis’ Data Security Platform, we’re giving organizations a way to adopt AI while keeping risk under control.”

“Most AI security efforts focus on models and prompts,” said Ron Bennatan, CEO and co-founder of AllTrue.AI and creator of Guardium (acquired by IBM) and jSonar (acquired by Imperva). “But the real value, and risk, of AI is related to the enterprise data AI can access. Varonis pioneered the data-centric security approach that is the bedrock of AI security. Together, we can give organizations the fastest path to safe, compliant, and trustworthy AI.”

Varonis said it planned to integrate AllTrue’s capabilities into its Data Security Platform to support adoption of AI that is safe, compliant and trustworthy.
