Version 7.0 of the Varonis Data Security Platform features new
cloud and advanced threat detection and response capabilities: new
event sources and enrichment; out-of-the-box threat intelligence to
Varonis security insights; and playbooks that arm customers with
incident response plans right in the web UI – making it easier for
customers to follow best-practice responses to security
incidents.
Additional highlights of 7.0 include:
- New Dashboards Highlight Cloud, Active Directory and
GDPR RisksActive Directory risk dashboards, GDPR
dashboards, and Office 365 dashboards offer at-a-glance visibility
into critical exposures and concerns on Active Directory and key
data stores. Widgets within each dashboard provide drill-down
context and explanations of security risks -- from vulnerable user
accounts to at-risk cloud data to potential compliance
violations.
- Support for Box Security EventsThe Varonis
Data Security Platform was created to protect enterprise data
wherever it’s stored, and that now includes data stored in Box.
Customers can filter, search, and sort by event type including
impersonation events, sharing events, and more; highlight risky
behavior like over-permissive sharing and impersonation; and see
where to remediate security vulnerabilities.
- Additional Office 365 and Active Directory Events Add
Intelligence and Context for Alerting and
InvestigationsAttackers commonly exploit weaknesses or
misconfigurations in Azure and on-premises Active Directory to
escalate privileges and access data, including email stored in
Exchange Online. Varonis 7.0 enhances Exchange Online, Azure AD and
Active Directory monitoring with new event and entity information,
and additional telemetry from directory services helps customers
reduce the time it takes to detect and respond to threats on
premises and in the cloud.
- Threat Intelligence Details Provide Deeper
InsightsMonitor and track malicious (or suspicious)
connections with out-of-the-box threat intelligence. Varonis
security insights and events are now enriched with information
about risky external connections. Customers can now get external IP
and URL enrichment in context with suspicious behavior and unusual
activity for deeper insight on potential security incidents.
- Incident Response Playbooks Map Out Next
StepsIncident response plans from our cybersecurity
research lab are now built into the Varonis UI as playbooks: our
security experts mapped out best practices for responding to
different types of cyberattacks – covering incident notification to
containment to recovery, along with actionable steps to eradicate
threats and improve security postures for future attacks.
- Increased Speed and Scalability with
SolrVersion 7 optimizes the use of Solr for dramatically
faster and more intuitive investigations. Solr enables rapid data
aggregation, visualization, and horizontal scalability on commodity
hardware, even with billions of events. By innovating on top of
Solr, Varonis customers can provision relatively little hardware
and receive significant performance improvements. Customers will
benefit from faster search auto-completion, improved search
response and immediate access to search results -- even during
their compilation.
- …and MoreAdditional features from version 7.0
include more out-of-the-box reports (including reports on
overexposed regulated and GDPR data); new threat models to detect
additional types of cyberattacks; faster updates to the web UI; and
saved searches for more collaborative investigations.
“This new release of the Varonis Data Security Platform speaks
to the fact that too many modern organizations are combatting a
lack of perimeter visibility, in-house expertise, proactive
incident response, and the requirement for a cyber-resilient
strategy – creating prime targets for attackers,” said Peter Evans,
chief marketing officer, Optiv. “Assessing a company’s business
requirements first, and starting with an ‘inside-out’ view on risk,
can identify and prioritize gaps in security program execution
across tools, processes – such as global access, and data.
Technology can automate these processes for detection and
remediation, thereby optimizing security while increasing
effectiveness.”
