GENERAL

Varonis Systems, Inc. ("VSI" and together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company” or "Varonis") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2004, commenced operations on January 1, 2005 and has twelve wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company's software specializes in data protection, threat detection and response, data privacy and compliance. Varonis software enables enterprises of all sizes and industries to protect data stored on-premises and in the cloud including: sensitive files and emails; confidential personal data belonging to customers, patients and employees; financial records; source code, strategic and product plans; and other intellectual property. Recognizing the complexities of securing data, the Company has built an integrated platform for security and analytics to simplify and streamline security and data management.

The Company offers coverage for more than 40 of the most mission-critical on-premises and cloud data stores and applications. In 2021, the Company launched its DatAdvantage Cloud hosted solution that centrally monitors and protects data across multiple cloud data stores, Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") applications and Infrastructure-as-a-Service ("IaaS") environments, as well as Data Classification Cloud to help automatically identify sensitive information. In 2022, it continued to enhance DatAdvantage Cloud and Data Classification Cloud with new functionality. In addition, the Company announced the availability of its flagship Data Security Platform as a SaaS, which offers simpler deployment, faster time-to-value, and groundbreaking new automation capabilities.

The Varonis Data Security Platform helps enterprises protect data against cyberattacks from both external and internal threats. The Company's products enable enterprises to analyze data, account activity and user behavior to detect and prevent attacks. Its software platform prevents or limits unauthorized use of sensitive information, detects and prevents potential cyberattacks and limits potential damage by automatically locking down data, allowing access to only those who need it and automating the removal of stale data when it is no longer useful. The Company's products efficiently sustain a secure state with automation and address additional important use cases including data protection, data governance, Zero Trust, compliance, data privacy, classification and threat detection and response. The Varonis Data Security Platform is driven by a proprietary technology, our Metadata Framework, that extracts critical metadata, or data about data, from an enterprise’s information technology ("IT") infrastructure. The Varonis Data Security Platform uses this contextual information to map functional relationships among employees, data objects, systems, content and usage. In doing so, the platform provides real-time intelligence about an enterprise’s massive volumes of data, making it more secure, accessible and manageable.
