Varonis Systems, a provider of unstructured data governance, has announced the release of DatAdvantage for SharePoint, which extends support to Microsoft SharePoint environments.

“Securing business data in Microsoft SharePoint is as important as it is in Windows and Unix file system environments, but even more challenging because of significant access control complexity and the rapid proliferation of SharePoint,” notes Yaki Faitelson, CEO and co-founder of Varonis. “With this product, Varonis has leveraged its vast file system protection expertise to bring comprehensive auditing and least privilege access guidance to SharePoint data use.”

Specifically, DatAdvantage enables:

• Complete visibility into user data access permissions across multiple sites, providing the ability to troubleshoot access problems and ensure access to data aligns with business needs.

• Least privilege access by providing intelligent recommendations about whose data access rights should be revoked.

• Scalable auditing across multiple sites that can capture users’ data access patterns without impacting server performance or generating large volumes of cryptic details.

• Smart Data Migration, which helps identify data owners and determine which source data on file systems and network-attached storage devices should be imported into SharePoint environments.
