    Overview

    Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.

    Varonis Platform is a comprehensive data security and analytics solution that helps organizations protect their critical data from insider threats and cyberattacks. Its primary use case is to provide visibility and control over data access, usage, and permissions across multiple platforms and environments. 

    The most valuable functionality is its ability to analyze and monitor data activity in real-time, identify abnormal behavior, and provide actionable insights to mitigate risks. It uses machine learning algorithms to detect and alert users to suspicious activities, such as data exfiltration, privilege abuse, and ransomware attacks. 

    This platform enables organizations to understand and manage their data risks effectively. It helps prevent data breaches, identify and remediate vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance with various data protection regulations. By leveraging increased visibility into data usage, organizations make informed decisions regarding access controls and permissions, minimizing the potential for data leakage or unauthorized access. 

    Moreover, Varonis Platform improves incident response and investigation capabilities by providing detailed audit trails and forensics capabilities. It helps organizations quickly identify the source of a security incident, understand its impact, and take appropriate actions to remediate the situation.
