Varonis Listed in Gartner 2017 Market Guide for Data-Centric Audit and Protection
April 11 2017 - 8:00AM
Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), a leading provider of software
solutions that protect data from insider threats and cyberattacks,
has been included as a representative vendor in Gartner’s 2017
Market Guide for Data-Centric Audit and Protection (DCAP) for the
capabilities found within its Data Security Platform (DSP).
According to Gartner, “By 2020, data-centric audit and
protection products will replace disparate siloed data security
tools in 40% of large enterprises, up from less than 5% today.”
“Traditional data security approaches are limited because the
manner in which products address policy is siloed, and thus the
organizational data security policies themselves are siloed,”
Gartner said in the guide. “The challenge facing organizations
today is that data is pervasive and does not stay in a single silo
on-premises, but is compounded by the use of cloud SaaS or IaaS.
There is a critical need to establish organization wide data
security policies and controls based upon Data Security Governance
(DSG).”
Gartner recommends that organizations “implement a DCAP
strategy, and ‘shortlist’ products that orchestrate data security
controls consistently across all silos that store the sensitive
data.” Further, the report advises, “A vendor's ability to
integrate these capabilities across multiple silos will vary
between products and also in comparison with vendors in each market
subsegment. Below is a summary of some key features to
investigate:”
- Data classification and discovery
- Data security policy management
- Monitoring user privileges and data access activity
- Auditing and reporting
- Behavior analysis, alerting and blocking
- Data protection
“For more than a decade, Varonis has built an innovative Data
Security Platform that protects the data most at risk and stolen in
major data breaches – files and emails spread across an
organization’s on-premises and cloud environments. We feel
Gartner’s increased focus on this area brings awareness to a
problem we have been addressing for years, namely data and access
control creep due to the nature of these files and the limitation
of existing point solutions,” said Ken Spinner, VP of Field
Engineering at Varonis. “We are pleased to be mentioned as a
representative vendor in Gartner’s market guide because we believe
it validates our focus on protecting the data where it lives,
regardless of application silos and emerging threat vectors.”
The Varonis Data Security Platform (DSP) protects enterprise
data against insider threats, data breaches and cyberattacks by
analyzing content, accessibility of data and the behavior of the
people and machines that access data to alert on misbehavior,
enforce a least privilege model and automate data management
functions.
