TrialCard Protects Patient Information With Help From Varonis
March 16 2017 - 8:00AM
Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), a leading provider of
software solutions that protect data from insider threats and
cyberattacks, today released details on its role in
helping TrialCard, an industry-leading, technology-enabled
pharmaceutical services provider, improve security control over its
data, enhance file integrity and exceed maintenance of regulatory
compliance.
As a pharmaceutical services provider, it’s important for
TrialCard to adhere to data protection policies, remaining both
secure and compliant. Already meeting its required regulatory
compliance, TrialCard wanted to go above and beyond for its
customers and needed a solution to pinpoint where sensitive data is
held, who owns it, who has access to it, who is using it and who
may be abusing their access. After evaluating several solutions,
TrialCard found and implemented Varonis DatAdvantage for
Windows, Data Classification Framework and DatAlert as the
cornerstone of their data security platform.
Stuart Browy, Security Engineer at TrialCard, said, “The proof
of concept only took two days to set up, and the depth of analysis
it was able to provide immediately on stale users, accounts and
data classification solidified our decision. I’ve dealt with file
integrity in previous positions, so I was familiar with the major
players and their capabilities. What caught my eye about Varonis
was the ability to have a granular look at data ownership, access
and use and apply intelligence to spot anomalous behavior. The
other products just didn’t have that level of visibility.”
Data Classification and Protection
Varonis Data Classification Framework helps to quickly discover
sensitive content, show where it is exposed and lock it down. As a
company that prides itself on listening to the needs of clients and
developing solutions to address market challenges, TrialCard wanted
a security solution with those same attributes. Therefore, they
chose Varonis to run on every one of their servers.
According to Browy, “On any given day in our environment, we’ll
have between three to four million files touched across the entire
company. One thing Varonis DatAlert does very well is watch what
individual users do over a given period of time, and if that user
goes outside of the norm, it alerts us. It saves a lot of
analytical work that I would otherwise have to do.”
Ransomware Defense and Stale User Discovery
“Luckily we haven’t been targeted with a ransomware attack, but
I’m very confident that if we were hit, Varonis DatAlert would
catch it. We know this because we’ve run tests on the environment
to determine its flexibility and ability to detect threats. Since
we’ve run Varonis on every machine in our network, we’ve realized
just how much stale data we were storing. Leaving that stale data
in active files wastes time, money and could even make us
vulnerable to threats.”
Varonis identifies stale data that is no longer accessed by real
users – saving disk space, lowering costs and simplifying
management to improve security across the environment. Varonis also
uses machine learning and bi-directional cluster analysis to
pinpoint users that have access to files they don’t need to do
their jobs, further strengthening the security of an environment
from cyberattacks and insider threats.
