Critical Account Program Manager

Support Cork, Ireland


Description

 

Overview

Varonis is a world-class organization with a straightforward mission: protecting vulnerable data.

 

Did you know that on average, 20% of an organization's data is accessible to every employee? Seventy percent of attacks take months or years to discover. But not for our customers.

 

At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently.

 

Our customers always know where their most valuable data is – on premises or in the cloud. Only the right people have access to only the right data. With real-time awareness of how employees use data, our client’s flag and stop malicious behavior in its tracks.

 

We’re fighting a different battle than conventional cybersecurity companies, relentlessly focused on securing data. Data assets are the most valuable – and vulnerable – components of the global economy. Along with employees, data is at the heart of almost every organization, yet conventional cybersecurity solutions, by themselves, have failed to protect it.
