Varonis, a leader in data security and analytics, has announced its acquisition of Cyral, a company specializing in real-time monitoring and access control for structured data. This strategic move strengthens Varonis’ capabilities in database activity monitoring (DAM), reinforcing its commitment to providing comprehensive data protection across cloud and on-premises environments.
The increasing reliance on cloud databases, data lakes, and AI-driven workflows has amplified the need for robust security measures that go beyond traditional perimeter defenses. By integrating Cyral’s technology, Varonis aims to deliver real-time monitoring, automated access controls, and advanced threat detection for structured data sources.
“The acquisition of Cyral allows us to expand our data security capabilities into an area that has traditionally been difficult to secure—structured data in cloud environments,” said Yaki Faitelson, CEO of Varonis. “Cyral’s innovative approach aligns perfectly with our mission to protect sensitive data from modern threats, and we are excited to bring their expertise into the Varonis family.”

Cyral’s agentless architecture provides security teams with real-time insights into database activity, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with data governance policies. By integrating these capabilities into its platform, Varonis seeks to offer a unified security solution that safeguards sensitive information across unstructured and structured data environments.
The acquisition underscores a broader industry shift toward zero trust security models and AI-driven data protection strategies. As businesses navigate increasing cybersecurity risks, Varonis’ expansion into DAM positions it to deliver a next-generation approach to securing critical enterprise data.
