Let’s talk about the word Panic.
A single word that describes the dreaded feeling that comes when disaster strikes unexpectedly.
In the digital world today, this feeling comes easily when sensitive data has been breached and has fallen into the wrong hands.
Schools and educational institutions recently experienced this feeling firsthand when the Canvas LMS platform was breached, exposing confidential records and leaving sensitive data vulnerable.
The truth is, this could have been avoided.
How?
Gatemark would respond to that with one word: Varonis.
Varonis is a data security platform designed to help organizations discover, classify, and protect sensitive data.
Especially unstructured data such as:
. Files
. Emails
. Confidential documents.
Some of Varonis’s key responsibilities includes:
. Identifying and classifying sensitive data like financial records, personal details, emails, and confidential files.
. Monitoring who can access data and tracking user activity across cloud and on-premises systems.
. Detecting unusual or risky behavior such as insider threats, hacked accounts, or ransomware attacks in real time.
. Reducing unnecessary access to sensitive files and folders to improve security.
. Automatically fixing security issues like exposed data or overly broad permissions.
. Helping organizations follow data privacy laws and regulations through tracking and reporting.
. Protecting sensitive data in tools like Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Salesforce, and AWS.
. Keeping detailed logs and reports for investigations, audits, and risk assessment.
As no system is without downsides, Varonis has its cons too, such as:
. It can be expensive for smaller organizations.
. Its Initial setup and feature mastery can be challenging and time consuming.
. Complexity of its implementation and management can overwhelm smaller organizations lacking IT resources.
. Some of its advanced features may require technical expertise to fully utilize.
Nevertheless, with cyber threats and data breaches becoming more common today, safeguarding your data should be a no brainer.
