Summary
Data has never been more valuable and vulnerable. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and regulations more strict, organizations struggle to answer one key question: “Is my data safe?
At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out. We’ve built the industry’s first fully autonomous Data Security Platform to help our customers dramatically reduce risk with minimal human effort.
