Overview

The Challenge

Directory Services are critical—every user authenticates to Active Directory or LDAP, and nearly every ACL, Mailbox, and SharePoint site and more and more applications refers to users and groups in these directories for authentication, access control, and storage of critical attributes. As critical as directory services are, changes and other activities are often difficult to audit and analyze.

The Varonis Solution

The Varonis Metadata Framework™ addresses these challenges by providing a complete representation of the domain hierarchy in the familiar DatAdvantage interface, right alongside other monitored infrastructure components, like Windows Servers, NAS devices, SharePoint sites, and Exchange mailboxes and public folders,* as well as an audit trail of all Active Directory activity, including changes to OU's groups, group policy, and logon/logoff events.

Why Varonis

Data protection is necessary to safeguard an organization's customers, employees, business partners, and investors. It is fundamental in securing an organization's intellectual property and competitive edge, and for maintaining the organizational trust required for it to properly function. Ongoing, scalable data protection and management require technology designed to handle an ever-increasing volume and complexity—a metadata framework.

The Varonis Metadata Framework™ non-intrusively collects this critical metadata, generates metadata where existing metadata is lacking (e.g. its file system filters and content inspection technologies), pre-processes it, normalizes it, analyzes it, stores it, and presents it to IT administrators in an interactive, dynamic interface. Once data owners are identified, they are empowered to make informed authorization and permissions maintenance decisions through a configurable web-based interface—that are then executed—with no IT overhead or manual backend processes.
