NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS ), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today announced that it has been recognized as one of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ list. During the period of 2011-2014 Varonis' revenues grew 154.8%.
Yaki Faitelson, Varonis Co-Founder and CEO, said, "We began more than a decade ago developing software to enable organizations to manage and protect their human-generated data, which we saw growing exponentially in terms of volume, importance and sensitivity. We have grown rapidly because Varonis solutions address an ever-expanding set of use cases, especially in helping to prevent data leakage from cyber attacks. It has since become clear that organizations cannot reverse or even slow the trend of cybersecurity disasters – which threaten their ability to conduct business – without having Varonis as a core component of their infrastructure."
Organizations store massive quantities of unstructured data – files, emails, spreadsheets, presentations – comprising some of their most valuable and sensitive information assets. These assets are frequently stolen in high-profile breaches, either by insiders who abuse their access or by outsiders who compromise insiders' credentials. Varonis has helped thousands of customers protect their unstructured data, through analyzing user activity with files and emails, permissions and file system metadata, as well as file content.
The company recently released the newest version of the industry-leading Varonis Metadata Framework platform, Varonis 6.2.5. The newest release includes major enhancements that represent the most advanced analytics and predictive threat models available to help organizations stem the rising tide of data breaches. Specifically, it protects organizations against breaches that are caused or exacerbated by previously undetected insider access and behavior, such as compromise of privileged accounts and privilege abuse.
"Amid a fierce business climate, there seems to be no shortage of new and established companies that are unlocking a seemingly unlimited potential for growth and advancement through technology's continued disruption and proliferation across industries," said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. "It is inspiring to witness the innovative ways that companies are incorporating emerging technologies for business gains, be it cognitive computing or the Internet of Things. We congratulate all those ranked on this year's Fast 500 and look forward to seeing their continued growth into 2016."
"Through the efforts and utilization of new and emerging technologies from these companies, we are witnessing greater business demands from across almost all industries," added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
