Panzura and Varonis

Making Enterprise Data Accessible, Durable, and Secure

Teamwork in Action

Data is created, stored, accessed and shared faster than security can keep up. Meanwhile, threats continue to escalate as new and inventive ways to access and compromise data emerge. With Panzura CloudFS and the Varonis Security Platform, enterprises can modernize, manage, protect, and defend their file and storage infrastructure.

Panzura CloudFS provides a hybrid cloud ﬁle platform extensible across hundreds of locations.

Overcoming latency to deliver a local-feeling file performance, CloudFS allows enterprises to consolidate data and replace legacy NAS, using public, private, or dark cloud S3 object storage as a globally available data center.

Storing data in an immutable form with immutable global snapshots, Panzura CloudFS makes data impervious to ransomware. Changed data is stored as new data blocks, which do not overwrite existing data blocks.

Move, manage, protect, and defend unstructured file data with Panzura and Varonis.

Collaborate Remotely and Securely in Real Time

Allow multiple locations to operate as if everyone works under the same roof using one authoritative set of data with the Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud file platform.

Enjoy local-feeling ﬁle performance everywhere with no file collisions or versions to reconcile, and immediate global data consistency.

Rapidly Detect, Respond to, and Recover From Threats

Behavioral profiles created by Varonis’ machine learning algorithms can automatically detect abnormal user behaviors like suspicious data access, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.

Shut down user sessions and change passwords using Varonis’ automated responses to stop attacks in their tracks and limit any damage. Recover from ransomware and other encryption by restoring files and folders from Panzura’s read-only snapshots.

Gain Visibility into Your Entire File System

Ingest unstructured data from Panzura’s hybrid cloud file system to monitor file system activity from one central, easy-to-read dashboard.

Visualize where sensitive data is stored, over-exposed, and at risk of compromise to malicious actors like insider threats, malware, or ransomware.

Quickly pinpoint exposed folders, stale data, or inactive accounts that are still enabled.

Tightly Control Data Access and Permissions

Automatically map out your environment’s permission structure with Varonis, allowing admins to easily view who has access, where data is stored, and who uses it. Control data access at a granular level and safely automate permission changes, ensuring users only have access to the data they need, reducing overexposure and other potential risks.

With additional context like classification, geolocation information, and device pairing from Varonis, administrators and security analysts can easily understand how data is accessed and used.
