Varonis Extends Flagship Data Security Platform with Version 6.4.111 and Varonis Edge
April 09 2018 - 9:15AM
Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), a pioneer in data security and
analytics, announced several new upgrades and features for its Data
Security Platform, including perimeter-informed intelligence with
Varonis Edge, new threat models for DatAlert, and more. At a time
when
, according to a recent Varonis study, the
average organization had 21% of their folders open to every
employee and 46% of organizations had more than 1,000 users with
passwords that never expire, enterprises must take steps to lock
down their critical data to protect against attacks from both
inside and out.
Varonis Edge analyzes perimeter devices like DNS, VPN, and Web
Proxy to detect attacks like malware, APT intrusion, and data
exfiltration. Varonis Edge enables enterprises to correlate events
and alerts to track potential data leaks and spot vulnerabilities
at the point of entry.
In addition to Varonis Edge, other recent enhancements to the
Varonis Data Security Platform include:
- DatAdvantage: The heart of
the Varonis Data Security Platform, DatAdvantage maps who can and
who does access data across file and email systems, shows where
users have too much access, and then safely automates changes to
access control lists and groups. DatAdvantage for Office 365 now
supports Azure Active Directory and includes auditing and event
collection capabilities.
- Geolocation: DatAlert now tracks cyberattacks
to a specific location, alerting when unusual access to your data
is coming from new or unusual physical locations. New threat models
track unreasonable geohopping activity from a blacklisted
geolocation and activity from new geolocations, while new maps
provide at-a-glance updates.
- GDPR Discovery and Data Protection: Varonis
automatically identifies and classifies data that falls under the
upcoming European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
with over 280 patterns in GDPR Patterns – making it easier than
ever to see what’s happening to that data once it’s
identified. Customers can identify regulated data, while
GDPR-focused threat models flag unusual activity around this data –
helping to meet GDPR requirements and protect consumer data.
- Automation Engine: Varonis’
solution for discovering and automatically repairing undetected
security vulnerabilities – like inconsistent ACLs and global access
to sensitive data – now supports multiple organizational unit (OU)
selection for new groups/per filer resolution.
“Companies are shifting from traditional security approaches
designed to keep attackers off their networks to a new model that
focuses on protecting their critical data, from the inside out, by
knowing what they have, where it resides and controlling access to
a least-privilege model,” said David Bass, Varonis’ Executive Vice
President of Engineering and CTO. “With Varonis Edge, we’ve
increased the number of ways we can detect cyberattacks and added
valuable context about what’s happening within core data stores –
providing detailed insight for investigation and analysis so
companies can better defend their data.”
