Varonis® DatAdvantage®

Varonis® DatAdvantage® delivers the visibility and auditing you need to determine who can access your unstructured data, who is accessing it and who should have access. Continuously updated information drawn directly from your environment shows you the individual users and the groups they are part of, every folder on your file systems, and each data access — open, delete, rename, etc. — for every user.

Click on a folder to see exactly who has access to it, what type of access they have — read, write, execute, etc., and where their permissions came from. Varonis DatAdvantage shows you detailed data access behavior and makes recommendations about whose access can be safely revoked.

Visualization

Visualization of user/data relationships - by selecting a user or a folder, administrators can see the permissions to the data set and how they were assigned (i.e. inherited).

Adaptive Authorization

Adaptive authorization computation - based on analysis of the actual data use, DatAdvantage continuously monitors and automatically identifies data entitlements, showing exactly who should be removed from having access. Administrators can enact the Varonis recommendations in the live environment with a mouse click, or see the impact in a sand box prior to implementing.

Data Ownership Identification

Data Ownership Identification - DatAdvantage identifies the names of the likely business owners for the data set so that IT administrators can verify data entitlements quickly.

Data Use Auditing

Granular Data Use Auditing - DatAdvantage shows exactly who accessed what data right down to the file name. Administrators can get details on the access frequency and type (open, delete, etc.) Comprehensive audit reports are available for all aspects of data use (user activity, critical folder access, entitlement changes etc.) and can be generated for any given day or time interval. Data business owners, auditors and other responsible parties can receive the reports on a custom defined schedule.
