Gartner defines the AI application security market as technologies that protect enterprise-developed AI applications and agents by combining security testing, exposure management, and runtime defense to detect, alert on, or block threats. Delivered via SaaS or on-premises technologies, these tools enable cybersecurity and risk teams to manage posture, conduct adversarial testing, and enforce real-time protection of AI applications.
The Trust Layer for AI and Data
"The more data an AI system can reach, the more valuable and riskier it becomes," said Rob Sobers, CMO at Varonis. "At Varonis, we've built the trust layer that helps organizations to securely connect any AI system to any data source."
As companies deploy AI applications at scale, these systems are no longer limited to analyzing data: they read, write, modify, and act on it at machine speed. This shift introduces a new class of risk.
Without knowing which systems exist, what they're doing, or what data they can reach, organizations can't safely use AI at scale. By integrating AI application visibility and enforcement with the leading Data Security Platform, Varonis gives organizations a way to adopt AI while working to keep risk under control.
