Overall Satisfaction with Data Security Platform
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.
- It will scan severs for Data Classifications (Credit Cards, Social Security, HIPPA, Ferpa, etc.)
- Detailed logging of all the writes, modified, delete, open, etc. of a file, folder, AD object, Exchange object, and sensitive data
- Provides alerting for AD, Exchange, and Ransomeware
- I can identify data owners of a particular share and email them quarterly entitlement reviews for permissions.
- Speed up with website within the DatAlert site.
- Satisfies many of our annual PCI audit requirements concerning data governance, permissions, and alerting
