Panzura has added access control list (ACL) analysis and automated remediation capabilities to its Symphony data services platform. The new features automatically detect and fix file permission problems that can expose organizations to security risks and hinder artificial intelligence readiness, Panzura said in a news release.
The San Francisco-based data management company says the capability expands Symphony’s data orchestration across enterprise file and object storage environments. Symphony continuously monitors and automatically fixes permission issues before they can be exploited, allowing IT teams to report on compliance with regulations and service level agreements, the company said.
“Manual permission audits are a nightmare — teams are constantly chasing inheritance chains, investigating anomalies, and trying to resolve violations. Automated remediation is the difference between organizational chaos and strategic control,” Sundar Kanthadai, chief technology officer at Panzura, said in a news release.
The platform includes interactive ACL analysis that shows administrators where permissions change in directory structures, with drill-down views of permission inheritance and change tracking. Symphony can automatically repair broken ACL inheritance using administrator-defined policies and retains previous report versions for auditing. The company also added support for Windows Alternate Data Streams and Extended Attributes, NetApp FlexGroup Volumes and IBM Storage Deep Archive for cold data storage.
