Aveksa is providing Data Access Governance for Windows File Shares and SharePoint in version 5.0 of its suite of Access Governance automation solution.

New product capabilities in Aveksa 5.0 include VMware certification and enhancements to the efficiency and scalability of the data storage and processing engine, as well as added support for application server and Oracle RAC clustering.

Aveksa promises the ability to automate data access certification processes for the lines-of-business, including identification of business owners.

It also aims to remediate inappropriate access and put in place a consistent methodology for group-based access to file shares and SharePoint.

In this release, Aveksa also invested in improved data collection, more efficient data processing and storage, and enhanced system administration.

Aveksa’s XMDB (Access Management Database) is a new architectural concept, in which the access repository, due to its expanded scope and scale, now serves as the authoritative source for user access within the enterprise.

“With the recent rash of publicized security breaches, Access Governance has moved to the forefront of IT security initiatives as enterprises work to ensure that access to mission-critical applications and data is accurate and up-to-date,” said Deepak Taneja, Founder and CTO of Aveksa.

“The release of Aveksa 5.0 represents a significant advance in the evolution of Access Governance automation solutions with the introduction of groundbreaking technology such as our new Data Access Governance module and the Aveksa XMDB. These new innovations will enable our customers to manage the business of access both across the enterprise and as they move applications into the cloud.”
