Collaboration Without Chaos

In order to tame the chaos that comes with collaboration and the associated data growth, organizations first need to be able to quickly answer basic questions about data assets and the people that use them:
- Who has access to what data?
- Who is using what data?
- What data is sensitive?
Unfortunately, the answers to these questions change every day, so a singly snapshot of this information is not sufficient—this data about data, or metadata, needs to be continually updated through automated collection. When this metadata is continually collected, aggregated, stored, and analyzed, organizations can then answer more complex questions about data:
- Who owns data, or should be designated as its steward?
- Who should have access?
- Where is data exposed?
- Who is abusing their access?
With the introduction of Version 5.6 of the Data Governance Suite, Varonis has added and enhanced automated data management and protection features for IT and data owners that take the chaos out of collaboration. Varonis customers have the ability to completely standardize unstructured and semi-structured data protection and management on their file systems, NAS, SharePoint sites and Exchange mailboxes with the Varonis® Metadata Framework™ technology that forms the foundation of Varonis software.
Organizations can effectively and automatically manage data access control, audit, ownership, classification, entitlements and authorization processes on the platforms that host unstructured and semi-structured data. The Varonis® Metadata Framework™ enables organizations to expand digital collaboration boundaries safely while at the same time significantly increasing IT workforce productivity for daily data protection and management tasks.
