Varonis Is Ending On-Prem. BigID Gives You a Choice.
Varonis announced the end of on-prem support. Customers are being told: migrate to SaaS or walk away. If you’ve spent years investing in on-prem infrastructure, you’re now being pushed into a model that doesn’t fit your business, your compliance windows, or your risk tolerance.

Data-Centric, Risk-Aware Security for the Multi-Cloud & Beyond
- Cloud, hybrid, & on-prem
- Deep & accurate classification
- Automatically take action
- Enterprise-scale security
Shine a Light on Dark Data
Automatically find and inventory your most sensitive, critical, and high-priority data - wherever it lives.
Get unmatched data discovery and classification to find and protect the data that matters most to you: whether it's critical, regulated, personal, secrets, passwords, IP, financial, or more across structured and unstructured data. Get more accurate results every time with ML-driven data classification - across your entire data landscape (from on-prem to cloud to everywhere in between).


Advanced Sensitivity Classification
Achieve unparalleled accuracy and scalability in data classification.
Go beyond traditional pattern-matching and regular expression (RegEx) with advanced, trainable ML and NLP-based classification. Create custom classifiers that can be tailored specifically to your unique data environment. Test and fine-tune them before deployment to enhance accuracy and mitigate the number of false positives. Label and tag all of your data using a single unified classification ruleset.
Jumpstart DSPM
Data Security Posture Management for the Multicloud and beyond
Accelerate DSPM: manage risk across the multicloud with a data-centric approach. Automatically map, monitor, and remediate data – with the first platform based on ML-driven in depth data discovery and automation.


Streamline Data Protection Workflows
Remediate high-risk, sensitive, & critical data, everywhere.
Make it easier than ever for the right people to take the right actions, on the right data. Manage data protection all in one place - a single pane of glass to annotate, delete, quarantine, archive, mask, encrypt, and anonymize sensitive data.
Assign findings and tasks to the right data owners, take action on the right data, and maintain an audit trail of all data protection activity. Enforce and prioritize your remediation actions by policy and report on actions taken on sensitive data.
Enable Zero Trust for Data
Identify & remediate high-risk data access issues.
Easily find over-permissioned and over-exposed data across your entire data landscape: mitigate unauthorized use, reduce the risk of data leaks or breaches., and get to a least privileged permissions model for zero trust.

How The University of Maryland Saved $5 Million in Risk Exposure
The University of Maryland used BigID to uncover and reduce over $5M in data risk across 2.5PB of cloud storage. With deep discovery and classification across Google Drive, O365, and Box, they identified and cleaned up thousands of exposed PII records—boosting compliance, minimizing exposure, and improving visibility across their data.
How the US Army Ensures Their Data is in the Safe Zone
BigID has equipped the US Army with the ability to illuminate dark data, accelerate cloud migration, minimize redundancy, and automate data retention. The result? Enhanced security, minimized risks, and streamlined data management across diverse platforms. See how BigID can help do the same for your organization.
AI Risk, Agentic Access, and the Data Security Gap
AI adoption is nearly universal. AI governance is nearly nonexistent.
The gap between them is where your most sensitive data is being exposed, by shadow AI tools, autonomous agents, and machine identities that operate at scale with no oversight and no controls. Drawing on research from Verizon, IBM, Forrester, McKinsey, and more, The Ungoverned Enterprise lays out the stark reality and provides frameworks and insights to get ahead.
