UW-IT is currently working to implement Varonis Data Loss Prevention services to better safeguard sensitive information and data.
This March, we will begin using Varonis to identify, classify, and monitor sensitive data in UW’s SharePoint and OneDrive systems.
- Finds and Protects Sensitive Data: Automatically discovers, classifies, and secures sensitive information.
- Prevents Unauthorized Access: Detects public exposure and mislabeled data to reduce risk.
- Stops Unauthorized Data Transfers: Monitors for unusual activity and takes action to prevent data breaches.
- Enhanced Security: Protects UW’s data by identifying sensitive information, properly classifying it, and providing consistent monitoring.
- Time-Saving Automation: Reduces manual work and tedious digging by conducting automated evaluations of existing systems.
- Simplified Permissions Management: Identifies and classifies sensitive data with minimal user disruption.
After launching Varonis in SharePoint and OneDrive, we’ll focus on promoting the UW Data Classification Framework to ensure huskies are confident in their data classification abilities.
Standardizing the data classification process will make it easier than ever to find what you need and be sure your private information is secure.
