About Varonis

Varonis Systems was founded in early 2005 by networking and storage experts Yaki Faitelson and Ohad Korkus. After spending years in the development, design and implementation of large scale networking and data management infrastructures for NetVision and Network Appliance, they came to an astounding realization: control of access to data was fundamentally flawed. Having been in a position to analyze and implement the leading methods for data protection, they understood that available approaches were not only ineffective but could not be successfully modified to ensure rightful access. At the core of the issue, is that data control or governance is a business process and what was needed was an approach based on business context. Existing technologies focused too narrowly either on managing users, or on understanding data. There was no technology to bridge the two by context for use. This made the process of controlling data permissions highly manual and error prone. An entirely new method for determining and effecting data authorizations had to be developed; a solution by which users would be aligned with data according to business need.

Today Varonis is the foremost innovator and solution provider of comprehensive, actionable data governance solutions. The company's installations span leading firms in financial services, health care, energy, manufacturing and technology worldwide. Based on patent-pending technology and a highly accurate analytics platform, Varonis' solutions give organizations total visibility and control over their data, ensuring that only the right users have access to the right data at all times.
