"Varonis has announced plans to acquire SlashNext, an AI-native email security vendor that specializes in phishing and social engineering detection. Founded in 2017 by Atif Mushtaq, one of the main architects behind FireEye's malware detection technology, SlashNext uses AI to defend organizations from multi-channel phishing attacks. The solution will be integrated into Varonis' Data Security Platform to enable advanced protection against AI-generated threats sent via email, SMS, and messaging services such as WhatsApp, Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams."
"Commenting on the agreement, Varonis co-founder and CEO Yaki Faitelson described the acquisition as a "natural evolution" of the company's platform, with the move set to "significantly expand" its total addressable market. "By connecting the dots between email, identity, and data we will dramatically increase the value of our MDDR service and help customers stop threats in their inbox, where many data breaches begin," he said."
