Varonis Extends DatAdvantage Support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 Environments

Organizations Powered by Linux Now Have Comprehensive Visibility
into and Auditing of Corporate Data
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Varonis Systems Inc. (http://www.varonis.com), the leading
innovator and provider of comprehensive data governance software,
today announced the availability of DatAdvantage version 3.7, which
extends support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 and provides the
foundation for Varonis to quickly add support for other Linux
distributions such as SUSE, Ubuntu, etc.

Varonis DatAdvantage is an award-winning solution that has been
tested and proven in over 600 installations worldwide. The addition of
Linux support will allow organizations that use Linux to power their
file systems to have unprecedented visibility and auditing of who can
access their file system data, as well as who is using the data.
Varonis DatAdvantage uses a unique mathematical engine to recommend
which users should have their access revoked, enabling organizations
to efficiently clean up unwarranted access to unstructured data on
these file systems.

"As organizations deploy Linux as part of their business
infrastructure, they need solutions to ensure Linux file systems can
be managed and monitored along with the rest of their data
infrastructure," said Sally Hudson, research director, security
products and services, IDC. "Using the same security principles
applied to Windows and UNIX environments, it is fundamental for
organizations with a Linux environment to safeguard, monitor and
manage its mission-critical, proprietary data."

Varonis DatAdvantage version 3.7 provides a single, unified view
of unstructured data across the enterprise, including Linux, Windows
and UNIX file systems, as well as Network Attached Storage (NAS)
devices. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 are supported in this latest
version of DatAdvantage. With version 3.7, Varonis has also
architected a foundation to enable support for other Linux
distributions, with support for additional distributions to become
available in the coming months.

"Unstructured data on Linux file systems is business-critical and
faces the same challenges as data on Windows and UNIX file systems,"
said Yaki Faitelson, chief executive officer and co-founder of
Varonis. "As organizations continue to deploy Linux in the data
center, a data governance framework that continuously monitors data
access is essential to ensure that only those employees with a
legitimate need have access to key business assets, preventing
sensitive corporate information from winding up in the wrong hands."

Varonis Systems recently sponsored a Ponemon Institute study on
the governance of unstructured data that overwhelmingly revealed that
businesses lack the ability to govern their unstructured data.
Inefficient, time-consuming processes have made the task all but
impossible. Varonis is the first and only company whose products can
scale efficiently and practically to control, manage and continuously
audit data use by recommending and automating who should not have
access to certain data sets. Varonis' products enable businesses to
monitor unstructured data-use without involving the IT department,
instituting infrastructure changes or disrupting business.

The award winning Varonis DatAdvantage will be on display this
week in Booth #405 at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San
Francisco's Moscone Center.
