IDC CASE STUDY
US Banking Institution Implements Varonis
Case Study Excerpt...
IDC research identifies an ongoing growth in the volume of unstructured file data. However, with this growth comes the need for sensitive corporate information to be protected and secured. In financial services firms, proper access controls and permissions to file data need to be monitored, reported on, and possibly revoked as business, audit, and security needs dictate.
This Buyer Case Study examines the challenges a midsize bank faces in ensuring the appropriate permissions are in place for sensitive and proprietary information as well as alignment with federal guidelines for such access. As the bank’s employees change roles, transfer to other departments, or leave the company, these permissions must be reviewed and updated. In addition:
The Varonis DatAdvantage product provides visibility and auditing to identify which users can access file data and the users who are accessing it, and the users that should have rightful access.The DatAdvantage solution collects information from the firm’s Active Directory and file share environment to report on users and the groups, folders on every file server, and user data access patterns, including open, delete, and rename for every user. Read, write, and execute permissions on folders are also collected. This detailed permission and access history is used as evidentiary support in audits and compliance reporting and enables a firm to holistically make permission changes as needed.
