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.

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.

We're started using Varonis more than 6 years ago, primarily its file server auditor features, to log file server actions such as file/folders read, write, moving, deletion, etc. It's surely an important tool to have when you have file server incidents. Like some department folders 'disappearing' and the manager or department's head demanding to know who was responsible. We had some incidents like that and Varonis really proved its value. It has native integration to a wide range of storage/NAS/fileservers. In our case, we use Netapp storage and it integrates to it through Netapp's native "policies." It works really well! Varonis can also be used to manage permissions and to find access "anomalies," for example, if a user starts to read/write a large amount of data at the same time (it could be an infected computer running a ransomware attack).

Varonis Data Security Platform has a variety of uses. One of the best features is the ability to track and monitor file and folder access. This means that if a folder or file disappears, a report can be ran that tells whether it was moved or deleted and who performed the action. There are times folders are inadvertently moved, in the past. The only option was to restore from backup and assume it may have been deleted. This means there could be multiple copies in the wrong locations. Now, if it has been determined a something was moved, we can check and see if it was intentional, if so, why and inform other people. If it was unintentional, then we can move it back to the original location. Another great use of it is to monitor for sudden file changes that could indicate ransomware or some other attack. Some rules can be put into place that sends alerts out to various teams so an investigation can begin quickly and intercede a potential attack. The product also can monitor Active Directory and alert on changes to specific security groups, account lockouts, or changes in GPOs

We are currently in our 1st year of deployment and are utilizing it across our entire organization. We mainly purchased the product for tracking account activity in active directory, but have found the added malware threat detection and notifications when group policies are changed have been added benefits for our Security and Identify and Access Management teams.

Varonis is one of University Advancement’s core business partners in our effort to comply with the recent PCI and data security initiatives the University is undertaking. We needed to get control of our data but it became evident there was a great deal of data that was not identified due to the amount and length of data being stored.

Some of the key questions answered by Varonis:

  • The amount of stale and sensitive data.
  • Where was this data stored?
  • Who owned and had access to the data?
  • What were people doing with the data?

Some of the controls provided by Varonis:

1. Alerts and reports on data access and file types.

2. Notifications on high priority AD alerts, Exchange alerts, and behavioral analytics.

Varonis has given us much needed insight into our data, which has become essential in our ability to secure our environment.

Data Governance suite was bought in for a couple of reasons, firstly to help with the organisation classification project and secondly to control and monitor access to data across the company. In both cases this tool provided a way of viewing what data was out there along with putting some control on who was accessing what and allowing the information owners and approvers to have a realtime view of what they are agreeing to when authorizing user access.
