Every day we hear new stories about how our customers are using DatAlert to stop cyberattacks: detecting and disabling ransomware infections, discovering misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, and setting up automatic responses to malware infections.

And so, we’ve updated DatAlert to be more intuitive, powerful, and insightful than ever: 6.3.150 includes major updates to DatAlert, additional platform support, and performance enhancements.

New Security Dashboard: DatAlert is easier than ever to use as a starting point for investigating suspicious behavior, spotting unusual activity on file servers, and finding security vulnerabilities.  We’re introducing a configurable dashboard where you can easily identify and prioritize at-risk areas like global access, stale data, and overexposed sensitive information.

Alert investigation page: A new alert page enables quick triage on individual alerts – drill down on suspicious activity that might indicate that an attack is under way and triage for further investigation.  The alert investigation page offers additional security insights about users, data, time, and affected devices.

Enhanced behaviors and analysis:

  • Behavioral Peers: DatAlert can compare file and email touches of one user – along with other activity – to that of her peers. Behavioral peer comparisons are available directly within the alerts page to streamline investigation and help identify the severity of alerted behavior.
  • Device Insight: Review device context cards, and get insight through the DatAlert UI to see alerts triggered on specific devices.  Insights into devices also help highlight abnormal device usage per user account to pinpoint a computer that’s been compromised for insider activities.
  • Normal Working Hours: Varonis determines normal working hours for each individual based on email & file activity – and compares activity against their peers, to catch suspicious activity more quickly than ever.
  • Flags & Watch list: Customers can now flag suspicious users, putting them on a watch-list for tracking – making it easier to keep an eye on suspicious users and devices. Users can be highlighted based on past alerts or based on information from legal, HR, or other departments.
