LONDON, UK: Varonis Systems, Inc. has announced that version 6 of the Varonis Metadata Framework – its core platform for delivering innovation through a growing range of products – will be generally available before the end of the year. Varonis also announced that DatAnswers, its new secure enterprise search solution that has been in customer beta since May, also will move into GA before the year ends.
The Varonis Metadata Framework is the most established, capable and complete platform available for enabling control of unstructured, human-generated data. It has been developed from the ground up over the past decade as a single platform on a unifying code base, purpose-built to tackle the many challenges and use cases that arise from the massive volumes of unstructured data files created and stored by organisations of all sizes. Currently powering five distinct Varonis products, the Varonis Metadata Framework intelligently extracts and analyses metadata from customers’ vast, distributed unstructured data stores, and enables a variety of uses cases, including data governance, data security, archiving, file synchronisation, enhanced mobile data accessibility, search, and business collaboration.
Yaki Faitelson, Varonis Co-Founder and CEO, said, “Varonis products share the Metadata Framework as their foundation, and our platform really pays off for our customers as we continue to extend its functionality and enhance their investments. Our solutions work with one another to solve many of the problems companies are facing at the intersection of productivity and risk. Data growth is unstoppable, and it continues to fuel the growth of Varonis.”
Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Cyber attacks and data breaches are striking companies with greater frequency and more publicity. At the same time, businesses rely more on employee access to data for productivity and efficiency than ever before. Striking the balance between security and productivity shouldn’t require tradeoffs in either. The importance of continual investments in core platform technologies like the Varonis Metadata Framework resonates with customers because they know their deployments will only grow in terms of use cases and value."
