Time Saving Tip for adding flags in Varonis DatAdvantage

 

In Varonis DatAdvantage, I make a lot of use of flags.  I use them to mark folders that are “allowed” to contain sensitive data, mark folders that should be excluded from data classification rules to reduce false positive, and I use them to organize unique sets of data.  For example, I was working on a project to review the permissions on about 50 related to a SOX audit.  So I was marking all of the folders that were in scope for the audit.  In addition, most of these directories needed security groups that were folder-specific added to the Access Control Lists.  I decided to use flags to track and report on my work.  In many cases I had to add two or more flags to each folder.  If you had to add them one at a time, you would have to click your way through 3 or 4 menus multiple times. 

 

Instead, if you click on the Move Button, you can select more than one flag at once.  Over the course of 50 folders, you save yourself time and over 100 clicks.
