\nNew Varonis Atlas capability lets businesses connect AI to their data while detecting and stopping agents that drift from their purpose

MIAMI, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Varonis Systems, Inc.<\/a> (Nasdaq: VRNS), the data and AI security leader, today announced Agent Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC), a new capability in Varonis Atlas that lets businesses connect AI agents to their enterprise data with safeguards that stop dangerous or out-of-policy behavior.<\/p>\n

Agents are making headlines for going rogue, exposing sensitive company data and, in one case, deleting an entire production database<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Agents need broad access to data and tools to be useful, which is precisely what makes them risky, and role-based access control was never built to judge what a non-human identity does with the access it has.<\/p>\n

“The question is no longer \u2018Can a user access this data?\u2019 but \u2018In this context, should this agent be allowed to take action on this data?\u2019” said Ron Bennatan, VP of AI and Data Security Strategy at Varonis. “We built Agent IBAC to give organizations assurance that their agents are acting as intended and not putting their business at risk.”<\/p>\n

\n How Agent IBAC Works<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Agent IBAC checks whether an agent\u2019s reasoning, tool use, and data access are consistent with its assigned instructions, and alerts on or blocks actions that do not align.<\/p>\n

When an agent crosses the line, Atlas can quarantine the identity behind it and block everything that follows for a defined window.<\/p>\n
