New Enhancements

DatAdvantage

DatAdvantage Lite

Varonis is pleased to introduce DatAdvantage Lite. DatAdvantage Lite allowscustomers to purchase only the specific user roles they need to gain visibilityinto their system, thereby matching DatAdvantage's capabilities with theirneeds. With DatAdvantage Lite users can be members of several differentview-based user roles at once, thus gaining access to the required views.Two additional roles - the Configuration user and the Commit/Edit user -must be appended to at least one of the view-based user roles.

While all roles can view entities in DatAdvantage, the following operationscan only be performed by certain roles:

• Configuration - Only available to Enterprise Managers, systemadministrators and the users specifically assigned the Configuration role

• Commit/Edit - Only available to Enterprise Managers, Power Users andthe users specifically assigned the Commit/Edit role

Flags, Tags and Notes

DatAdvantage's UI follow-up flags have been enhanced to enable fullcustomization of their name, color and scope. In addition, users can definecustom tags and notes on objects in the same manner. Flags, tags andnotes may all be set as available for global use or personal use only, andthey all may be used in various searches and filters. Only global flags maybe used in searches - personal flags are not supported for reports or logs.

When DatAdvantage is upgraded from 5.6 or lower to 5.7, flags are handledas follows:

• All personal flags in the lower version become global flags in 5.7.

• The names and colors of flags defined in the lower version aremaintained in 5.7.

Retention Policy Mechanism

DatAdvantage now provides more control over the definition of a dataretention policy. With this version, events and statistics can be both archivedand deleted. In addition, default dates for archiving and deletion can be set.

Log-Related Filters

5.7.10

The Event status filter was added, to support auditing of Access Deniedevents.

Auditing of Access Denied Events

5.7.10

With this version, DatAdvantage enables auditing events generated by userswho attempted to access objects to which they do not have permission.Information is collected regarding the time period and type of the actionbeing attempted.

Access Denied events are currently only audited for Windows and EMCCEPA file servers. They can be viewed in the log; they are automaticallyfiltered out of statistics and other reports.

DataPrivilege

Creation of Subfolders in DataPrivilege

This version introduces the ability to define subfolders directly inDataPrivilege. Until now, administrators had to define new folders in the filesystem and then add them to DataPrivilege. With this new feature, data andgroup owners can (with administrator permission) define new folders directlyin DataPrivilege.

A new report, Requests and Authorizations, provides data on the creation ofnew folders.

IDU Suite 5.7.27 Release NotesNew Enhancements

Proprietary and Confidential of Varonis 5

Requests for Multiple Users

With this version, DataPrivilege enables creating requests for multipleusers. This is supported in both permission requests and group membershiprequests.

Management Authorization

This version of DataPrivilege introduces management authorization. Beforea request of any sort is sent to the relevant authorizer, it is first sent to theuser's direct manager for approval. With this optional feature, the user'smanager (designated as Authorizer 0) may evaluate the necessity of therequested access to the user's work. If the manager deems such accessunnecessary, the manager can decline the request and the request's lifecycle is completed.

Group Locations

With this version, it is possible to define virtual "locations" for groupsin DataPrivilege. Like base folder locations, group locations enablea hierarchical view and can be created, moved and deleted (onlyadministrators can define group locations).

When a group is added to DataPrivilege, its location can be selected.Additionally, group locations can be used in searches.

The group location hierarchy is stored only in the DataPrivilege database. Itdoes not affect the enterprise user directory in any way.

Bulk Upload Tool

The Bulk Upload Tool has been enhanced in a number of ways:

• Adding and configuring permissions types is now supported

• Adding authorizer levels is now supported

• Folders can be set as protected

• The DataPrivilege configuration can be exported to the Bulk Upload Toolformat

• A summary screen has been added

• A new sheet enables uploading permissions in bulk

• A new sheet enables uploading the Excluded Groups list

• The general look and feel has been enhanced to reflect the Varonisbrand

Multi-Language Support

5.7.10

DataPrivilege now supports the following languages throughout the userinterface:

• Swedish

Groups as Group Members

5.7.20

DataPrivilege now enables adding groups as members of other groupsthroughout the user interface. This ability is controlled by a new configurationkey, Allow adding a group to a group, in the Authorizer and Owner Rightscategory.

Administrators and Management Operations

5.7.20

With this version, the Administrator role can perform operations on theDirectory and Group Management screens. This ability is controlled by anew configuration key, Allow administrators to view and edit managementscreens, in the General category.

Filtering Objects by Location

5.7.20

DataPrivilege now enables defining logical locations, or hierarchical trees inwhich folders are grouped according to the selected criteria. Once locationsare defined, it is possible to filter the view presented to users according tolocation, so that users see only those folders that are relevant to them.

This filtering is controlled by two new configuration keys in the Domainscategory:

• Filter objects by location

• Locations to be displayed

Request Expiration Dates

5.7.24

With this version, DataPrivilege enables setting an expiration date on directmembership requests.

DCF

Configuration of Temporary Working Folder

5.7.24

The DCF now enables selecting the temporary working folder. This versionincludes a new key, "TempDirectory," that enables configuring the requiredfolder. If the key is blank, the temp directory used is %temp%\__temp_dcf\. If the key is not blank and represents a directory, this directory is used:TempDirectory\__temp_dcf\.

When the DCF starts, it checks whether the TempDirectory exists. If thedirectory does not exist, the service exits with an error.

• General look and feel

• More

5.7.20

With the release of 5.7.20, the above display options can be defined in theReport Viewer (in addition, they can also be defined through the ReportTemplate Wizard).

Non-Real-Time Alerts

In this version, two new report templates have been added and severalothers enhanced to enable alerting users to changes made in the monitoredenvironment. The two new reports are subsets of the log/history report:

• Changes in User/Group Repository report - This report template providesinformation about changes that have occurred in user repositories, basedon the history of differences.

• Changes in Folders/Permissions report - This report template providesinformation about changes that have occurred on the monitoredresources, based on the history of differences.

In addition, filters and operands have been added to existing reports tosupport their use as alerts.

New Filters

File System Filters

A number of new filters related to the file system are available. These filterscan be used in searches, in report generation and in setting the scope ofDCF rules.

• Number of nested folders

• Number of nested files

• Total number of nested objects

• Number of files in subfolders

• Size of this folder only (in MB)

• Size of nested folders (in MB)

With this version, the dictionary can be customized asnecessary.

Extended Attributes in DataPrivilege Reports

To boost the value of DataPrivilege reports and increase their similarity withthose of DatAdvantage, this version enables defining extended propertiesfor use with reports. The ability to add up to four extended properties to anyreport gives users access to information that is not necessarily returned bythe default report.

In addition, the Reports search and the Subscription Filters panes have beenredesigned to more closely resemble those of DatAdvantage. The Data-Driven Reports Configuration and the regular Reports Configuration windowshave been combined.

Directory Service probing includes support for the following events:

• Creation and deletion of all objects

• Changes in group membership

• Changes in directory service object properties for any property

Note: Due to standard Microsoft behavior, Modify events may be recordedfor all the fields in a modified object, not only those that were changed; also,when an AD object is created, many Create and Modify events are recordedon the object's fields.

In this version, DatAdvantage support for directory service probing includesfull visibility in logs and history, as well as several reports. The DCF does notsupport directory service probing.

5.7.1 - Automatic Configuration of Group Policy Objects

Events are frequently generated by computer accounts, not by humanusers (especially since the introduction of directory service probing). Thisversion includes a number of changes to better indicate events generated bycomputer accounts.

• The SAM account name for computer accounts includes a dollar sign ($),to clearly indicate that these are not human users.

• Computer accounts are not displayed in the Users and Groups panes,unless a directory is selected to which a computer account haspermission. Computer accounts that are members of groups are notdisplayed in those groups.

• Computer accounts can be added to the list of filtered users according toSID.

• Computer accounts cannot be selected in the Directory Service picker.Instead, a computer's name can be entered in place of a human user'sname to search for it in the log.
