Solution for Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

Like any other organizational asset, data assets must be assessed and absorbed, synthesized or compartmentalized as efficiently and effectively as possible to capitalize on the opportunities afforded by an organizational union or separation. The Varonis Data Governance Suite provides a comprehensive, automated solution to monitor access activity, identify data owners, identify stale data, identify and remediate excess access, as well as identify sensitive data during and after a merger, acquisition, or divestiture.

Overview

The Challenge

Broad organizational changes represent significant challenges for IT; data must quickly be made accessible to the appropriate parties while simultaneously protected from loss, theft, or misuse, despite the duress and uncertainties that come with restructuring and personnel changes. Integrating disparate organizations requires an understanding of user domains, data permissions, and data access patterns.

The Varonis Solution

Whether you are going through a data acquisition, data integration, a divestiture or a reverse merger, Varonis solutions will help you:

Metadata Streams

Four types of metadata are critical for data governance

  • User and Group Information - from Active Directory, LDAP, NIS, SharePoint, etc.
  • Permissions information - knowing who can access what data in which containers
  • Access Activity - knowing which users do access what data, when and what they've done
  • Sensitive Content Indicators - knowing which files contain items of sensitivity and importance, and where they reside

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.
