Varonis Wins “Security Project of the Year” and “Auditing/Reporting Solution of the Year” in Computing Security Award...
October 18 2016 - 9:00AM
Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), a leading provider of
software solutions that protect data from insider threats
and cyberattacks, today announced it is a winner in the Computing
Security Awards 2016. Varonis DatAdvantage was named the
Auditing/Reporting Solution of the Year. Varonis was also awarded
the Security Project of the Year - private sector for its work with
customer Union Bank UK PLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Union
Bank of Nigeria PLC.
Scaling across businesses of all sizes, Varonis DatAdvantage
provides insight into file systems and the emails, files,
presentations and spreadsheets stored on them, highlighting
patterns, security risks and social connections to monitor and
protect sensitive data from insider threats. From a single
interface, administrators can quickly manage and visualize
permissions and map groups of users to only the data they need to
access.
Union Bank needed better visibility into the different types of
sensitive data its employees were storing and accessing across its
file systems. Regulatory requirements necessitated that the bank’s
IT department regularly audit and report on who was accessing
sensitive data, when and where, but they had no way of doing so
efficiently. Also, with malware and ransomware on the rise, the
bank needed a solution that could quickly alert the IT staff to
unusual file access behavior such as rapid encryption of files
stored on its servers. The search led Union Bank’s IT team
to Varonis and its DatAdvantage and DatAlert
solutions.
According to David Pennant, IT Manager at Union Bank, “Varonis
DatAdvantage takes away the guesswork and allows us to easily set
up rules and get reports on changes to files and folders. If we
have an auditor come in, we don’t need to worry because we are
confident that with Varonis any question the auditor might have can
be answered.”
“Before Varonis, we had no real view of what was happening on
the file servers or changes happening on a day-to-day basis,”
continued Pennant. “We can’t afford to spend a large amount of time
sifting through logs. We need to stay focused on day-to-day tasks
and therefore needed a more efficient approach. It was immediately
obvious that Varonis could give us the automated, efficient
approach we were looking for. Thanks to Varonis, IT now has better
insight into the bank’s data, and that, of course, reduces security
risk, which is something which you can’t always put a price
on.”

David Gibson, Varonis Vice President of Strategy and Market
Development, said, "At Varonis, we empower companies to discover
where their sensitive data is overexposed, uncover vulnerable or
stale data, lock it down without interrupting their businesses
activities, and alert on unusual activity. Administrators can
manage and visualize permissions, mapping groups of users to only
the data they need access to. Varonis user behavioral
monitoring and profiling offers what we believe is an unmatched
ability to monitor and protect data from ransomware infections,
hijacked accounts, disgruntled employees, abusive administrators,
and other suspicious insider threat actions. We are delighted to
have won the Auditing/Reporting Solution of the Year and to have
been honored with the award for Security Project of the Year at the
2016 Computing Security Awards.”
