The Scalable Varonis Alternative That Protects Your Data Everywhere

Real-time protection, full data discovery & classification across Active Directory, SaaS, file-sharing, pipelines and on-prem/legacy estates – without the blind spots.

Trusted by leading enterprises across finance, insurance, telecom, retail, healthcare, and more.

The Limits of Varonis

Relies on scheduled file-walk jobs that can take hours (or days) to complete, which delays visibility into sensitive data across complex environments.

Often requires agents, additional servers, and on-prem infrastructure to operate, resulting in significant deployment overhead and longer time to value.

Focus on file shares and Active Directory leaves gaps in visibility across APIs, SaaS applications, streaming data, and event-based systems.

Generates a high volume of alerts, often driven by regex-only detection models, which can flood teams with false positives and manual triage work.

Why DataStealth Works

Performs continuous data discovery and classification in both batch and streaming modes, ensuring real-time visibility across file shares, object stores, APIs, databases, and pipelines.

Deploys inline without agents, APIs, nor collectors using a gateway, reverse proxy, or data-store proxy; providing full protection with minimal overhead across cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped environments.

Fully protects legacy and modern data flows – including web, API, streaming (Kafka), file sharing, and cloud object storage – eliminating visibility gaps across the entire data estate.

Why DataStealth is the Right Varonis Alternative for Enterprises

Protect Sensitive Data
Everywhere It Moves

Whether it's legacy file servers, Active Directory, cloud APIs, or SaaS apps, DataStealth secures sensitive data at every point – without agents, code rewrites, or workflow disruption.

See What’s Really Happening
Across Your Estate

Stop flying blind in hybrid or multi-generational environments. DataStealth continuously discovers and classifies data in real time – whether it’s stored in a database, flowing through Kafka, or sitting in an S3 bucket.

Secure Data at the Source,
Not After the Fact

Tokenization, masking, and encryption happen before data reaches apps, logs, or users – minimizing false positives and making data breaches dramatically less costly.

Scale Without Lock-In
or Rebuilds

Deploy, whether on-prem, cloud, air-gapped, or containerized, without being boxed into a single vendor, infrastructure, or architecture.

What DataStealth Provides That Varonis Doesn’t

LEARN MORE

Real-Time, Inline Data Protection

Protects sensitive data before it reaches apps, logs, SIEMs, or storage – not hours later after a scan completes.

Agentless Deployment Across All Environments

Secures data without deploying agents, scanners, or multi-server clusters  – works as a gateway, reverse proxy, or datastore proxy.

Continuous Discovery Beyond File Shares

Monitors and classifies data across APIs, Kafka streams, SaaS platforms, databases, file sharing, and object stores – not just CIFS/NFS folders.

Built for Legacy + Cloud + Air-Gapped Systems

Supports Active Directory, mainframes, legacy DBs, hybrid workloads, Kubernetes, and air-gapped environments – without requiring modernization first.

Tokenization, Masking & Encryption at the Source

Applies protection in-flow, not post-processing – dramatically reducing false positives and eliminating exposure windows.

Eliminates Security Gaps in Logs, Pipelines & Events

Covers the “invisible data paths” Varonis doesn’t touch – event streams, API calls, ETL pipelines, message buses, and structured/unstructured stores.

Enforce, Not Just Alert

Moves security from visibility → action – data is protected instantly, not added to a backlog of governance tickets.

No Vendor Lock-In, No Architectural Rewrite

Technology-agnostic design fits any stack: cloud, on-prem, containerized, serverless – no forced storage, agent ecosystem, or OS dependency.

Fewer False Positives, Less Alert Fatigue

Reduces noise by controlling data before it hits downstream tools, instead of reacting after security tools detect it.

One Platform, All Data Types

Applies protection in-flow, not post-processing – dramatically reducing false positives and eliminating exposure windows.
