Access control implementations between Windows, Box, SharePoint, Exchange, UNIX, etc. are unique — each with their own idiosyncrasies and gotchas. Calculating effective rights for a given object or user can be absurdly complex and varies greatly between systems. 

Varonis pre-calculates and normalizes the billions of functional relationships between users, groups, and data with patented data structures and algorithms to instantly and accurately determine effective permissions.

This produces a bi-directional permissions map that visualizes who has access to any object and the reverse — which objects any user or group can access.

Much like permissions, access events vary wildly in format and structure across technologies. Figuring out what an employee has accessed in a given day can become a data science project when it should be a simple query. 

Varonis aggregates, normalizes, and enriches data access events, access control and configuration changes, authentication events, and network events from a wide variety of systems from dozens of different vendors. 

We produce a unified, human-readable audit trail that becomes your system of record for all data security questions. These enriched events feed our real time alerting engine, enabling high signal-to-noise ratios.
