London UK: Varonis Systems, Inc. has announced that its Data Governance Suite has achieved “In Evaluation” status in the Common Criteria security certification process. Common Criteria evaluation of security products is mandated for commercial information security products purchased by the U.S. government for use in national security systems. Varonis’ participation in this process reinforces the company’s commitment to providing the highest quality assurance to its customers.
Common Criteria provides both public and private sector organisations a platform to identify security technologies that have completed a rigorous testing process to conform to standards outlined by the International Standards Organization. Since the Varonis Data Governance Suite is now “In Evaluation,” government agencies and other organisations requiring the Common Criteria EAL-2 certification can begin to consider the software for purchase. Varonis is working on the process with Corsec Security, a leading global validation solutions provider, and anticipates it will fully complete the Common Criteria EAL-2 certification by mid-2016. A copy of the Varonis “Notification of Certification Process” is available upon request.
Varonis Vice President David Gibson said, “Varonis is the only company that can monitor, manage and protect human-generated data in critical file systems, email, intranets, and file shares, while at the same time increasing employee productivity and reducing costs. With approximately 3,500 worldwide customers, we have proven that we can do it at scale in both the public and private sectors. We invested in the Common Criteria Certification so that our current and future customers can be assured that our solutions meet all the required standards.”
“Almost every organisation that installs Varonis software quickly sees that much of the data that employees have access to isn’t relevant to them in their jobs -- which presents a huge risk for either innocent or malicious data leakage,” Gibson continued. “The ability to view these risk areas and manage them through automated solutions is a sound investment that increases productivity and efficiency and lowers costs while reducing risk.”
