Company Report

Varonis Faces Tough Competition as a Small Vendor in a Large Cybersecurity Pond

We view Varonis Systems as a strong data security vendor that occupies a tough competitive landscape. The firm’s solutions revolve around data security, privacy, and compliance. While the firm’s history stretches back to its founding in 2004, we are pessimistic on what the future holds for the firm as intense competition and possibly an uptick in churn due to the firm’s ongoing cloud transition stand to exact a cost on the firm’s growth and profitability outlook.
