Varonis Announces Interoperability with RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle to Detect and Mitigate Security Risks by Provid...

Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS), a pioneer in data security
and analytics, announces interoperability between Varonis
DataPrivilege with RSA® Identity Governance and Lifecycle. The
interoperability combines the ease of data access governance from
DataPrivilege with the Identity and Access Management (IAM)
alignment of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, delivering a
solution to help joint customers secure sensitive unstructured
data, address compliance requirements and reduce risk.
In a recent report, Varonis found that, on average, 58% of
companies have more than 100,000 folders open to everyone --
placing sensitive data at risk from cyberattacks and data breaches.
Regulations such as GDPR, PCI, HIPAA, and others place the burden
on companies to manage and secure sensitive data to a
least-privilege model. Issues such as access creep, malfunctioning
permissions, “ghost” users and other problems must be resolved to
achieve maximum benefit from an IAM solution.
How it WorksThe Varonis Data Security Platform
helps prepare enterprise data for RSA Identity Governance and
Lifecycle by finding data owners, correcting inconsistent
permissions, removing global security groups, and simplifying and
maintaining permissions structures.
Companies that implement Varonis DataPrivilege interoperability
with RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle benefit from:
- Enhanced visibility and control of unstructured file systems
directly within RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle;
- Meeting access control policies by helping to ensure that users
have appropriate access permissions;
- Reducing attack surfaces and assisting with compliance by
limiting access privileges and deactivating stale/orphaned
accounts; and
- Automating attestations, provisioning and de-provisioning of
access permissions.
“Companies often lack insight on how users and groups map to
permissions – yet this understanding is critical for achieving the
full benefits from your IAM investment,” said Varonis CMO David
Gibson. “The technical interoperability with RSA Identity
Governance and Lifecycle and Varonis DataPrivilege will help joint
customers derive more value from their IAM by adding visibility
into their data environments – mapping users, data owners, access
permissions and more.”
“Controlling unstructured data has become a critical objective
for many organizations, as they realize that information can often
be as valuable as currency and may put them at risk,” said Stephen
Mowll, Director of Product Management, RSA Identity Governance and
Lifecycle. “With regulations and threats from both internal and
external actors, data must be subject to the same controls as any
other asset: it must have an identified owner or steward,
standardized access controls, access records, and reporting on
these components. With this interoperability, RSA Identity
Governance and Lifecycle and Varonis customers can gain greater
control of their sensitive data.”
