Hybrid solutions improve user experience but security features offer room for enhancement
One of the best features with Check Point Harmony SaaS is that they provide a static IP to every customer who enrolls for the service. It differs from Prisma Access, Zscaler, or Netskope that give a shared static IP of the PoP. For example, if you are in the U.S. or in India, in the Kolkata or Mumbai region, every customer in that location will connect to the nearest PoP, which might be in the South U.S. region. With other providers, every customer shares the same static IP. With Check Point Harmony SaaS, they always provide dedicated static IP, which activates when you turn on the network for your cloud. The benefit is that you receive a high level of security. If Prisma Access becomes compromised, every customer could be affected, but that is not the case with Check Point Harmony SaaS. This is a unique feature that has received positive feedback from users.

Data governance has strengthened and automation now reduces risk and manual compliance work
Varonis Platform offers key features including data discovery, data classification, data analysis, governance, user and entity behavior analysis, also known as UEBA, which helps in ransomware detection, insider threat detection, and compliance reporting. It does a lot of automation from a remediation standpoint, as well as investigation and forensics. The number one feature that makes the biggest difference for my clients is visibility into unstructured data; that is the most difficult for organizations to achieve. They do not have a good understanding of where sensitive data resides, who has access to this data, whether this access is appropriate, and how data is being used. Varonis Platform provides visibility, governance, threat detection, and automated remediation around data. Varonis Platform is a great data discovery platform that provides visibility into sensitive data estimates and how it is being used. Clients have been able to reduce excessive permissions, strengthen their compliance posture, detect insider threats, and ransomware activity, which would otherwise be difficult and manual. Varonis Platform is deployed in my clients' organizations in a combination of all types. Many clients use Varonis Platform in a largely SaaS-based model since it is a data security platform consumed in this way, and many organizations still operate hybrid environments. As far as Varonis Platform is in a position to get the data source and identify systems, it can discover and classify more secure data. Deployment in most of our clients is cloud-based, connecting to Microsoft 365, AWS, or other SaaS applications such as Salesforce. In other environments, it is a hybrid deployment with SaaS and on-premises, including file servers, NAS devices, and AD servers.
