 Varonis Systems, Inc., the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, today released details of how it has helped Boston University bolster its data loss prevention (DLP) strategy and address its data governance concerns. Having initially investigated traditional DLP technologies, this leading university found that the majority of the solutions could only answer one aspect of DLP – where sensitive data was located – but could not determine who had access to it or who was using it. As the only solution able to provide deeper insight to the data, Varonis DatAdvantage and the Varonis IDU Classification Framework are now enabling Boston University to better ensure that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized users, while also providing extensive audit trails that detail how the data is being used.
