Varonis Data Security Platform

Varonis is a data security company that states it started more than two decades ago, with Yaki Faitelson as co-founder and CEO. It addresses sensitive data exposure, excessive access and data-centric threats across cloud, SaaS and on-premise stores.

The platform includes data discovery and classification, DSPM, data access governance, database activity monitoring, DLP, identity posture and ITDR, plus Atlas for AI security and Interceptor for email and browser security. Named customers include Nasdaq, Fannie Mae, Ralph Lauren and Cintas.

• Data discovery and classification: finds sensitive data across stores.
• DSPM: assesses data exposure posture in cloud and SaaS.
• Data access governance: reduces overexposed access.
• Database activity monitoring: audits database access.
• Atlas AI security: protects data used by AI tools such as Copilot.
• Identity posture and ITDR: detects identity-based threats.

A Vietnamese bank can clean up over-shared SharePoint and file server permissions before rolling out Copilot. A manufacturer can locate sensitive design files across storage. An enterprise can monitor unusual data access by insiders.

Covers data classification, access governance and threat detection in one platform. Supports Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, Snowflake and on-premise storage. Offers a free risk assessment. Available through AWS, Azure and Salesforce marketplaces.

Enabling Microsoft Copilot and other AI assistants exposes years of over-shared data, driving demand for DSPM and access governance. Vietnamese enterprises on Microsoft 365 face the same exposure and data protection obligations.

Founded in 2005 by Yaki Faitelson and Ohad Korkus, headquartered in Miami per the company page. Proofpoint agreed to acquire Varonis, announced 2026-10-15, closing expected in the first half of 2027.
