Varonis Data Security Platform

We had many visibility issues in our Active Directory and file server environment. Varonis helped us see the environment more clearly and mitigate the reported risks. We corrected several errors in AD, fixed privileges in the environment, were able to verify the number of files accessed on the file server and whether some accesses were really necessary, and we made the necessary corrections.

• High risk mitigation.
• Real visibility of the environment and how insecure we are.
• Automation for repetitive processes

Tenable Identity Exposure, Cyberark Endpoint Privilege Manager, Trend Vision One Endpoint Security

Our organization uses the Varonis Data Security Platform to monitor, and manage sensitive data across our on-premises environments. The platform is a part of our data security, and insider-threat management strategy. Varonis helped us with Data Visibility and Classification, clear visibility into where sensitive data resides and also GDPR compliance.

• Varonis reduced data exposure risks and simplifies compliance reporting
• Faster Threat Detection and Response

Netwrix Auditor

The application is used by the IT Department and is implemented enterprise wide. We use the product as a part of our defense in depth approach to cyber-security. The tool enable our enterprise to monitor PII in a way we were not able to monitor it prior. The tool also provides significant reporting tools that we use to augment our monthly security meetings.

• The ability to work through remediation through the Varonis interface is excellent.
• The reporting options are very helpful.
• The alerting works exactly as designed.
• The administrative interface works as expected and it is easy to set up rules within the tool.

• We have identified data classifications issues that our organization was not aware of prior to the implementation.
• The tool does take a dedicated resource for it to be effective.
• Varonis has improved the speed with which we can fulfill audit requests, leaving us more time for other tasks.

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)

We are using Varonis to audit our Isilon file servers. We have used this software to identify sensitive data locations and locations that need to be more secure. This software has helped us automate a lot of the processes to secure these data locations. It took us a few months to fix these issues; whereas, it would have taken maybe years to repair manually. We are also using this to help us identify the presence of malware and alert us if any is detected and logoff any offending user.

• Malware alerting
• File system auditing
• User event auditing for cloud and on-prem

• Varonis has only been a positive impact on our environment, but helping us close security holes that we didn't know existed.
• This product has also provided piece of mind by watching our environment for Malware attacks and taking automatic actions if necessary.
• This software does require a fair amount of server resources, but fortunately can be hosted in a virtual environment and has made this need easier to handle.

• It has reduced the amount of time and success in determining what has happened to missing files and folders. Anytime one of these disappears, someone wants to know what happened to it and who did it. In the past, we were not able to provide this information.
• It has assisted us in determining why a service type account locks and from the source. These have caused issues in the past in determining the source and when it locked. Many times the information would be on one of several DC's or could have possibly rolled off the logs by the time we checked on it.
