London (UK), November 16 2011 – Varonis was honoured to receive a medal at last night’s prestigious UK IT Industry Awards, held at Battersea Parks Events Arena, in its Technology Excellence category. These annual awards are the benchmark for excellence throughout the computer industry, organised and run by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and Computing, and offer a platform for the entire profession to celebrate best practice, innovation and excellence.

 Speaking about the results, David Clarke, MBE, Chief Executive Officer of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT said, "The awards are very rigorously judged so to be a winner or medallist means that you really are the best of the best."

 The Business IT Innovation of the Year category looks to recognise innovative new products or services that have delivered measurable benefit for business users or customers in areas such as, e-commerce, hosting, web performance, communications, or web-based services. Varonis was awarded its medal for revolutionising data management through data governance.

Varonis’ DatAdvantage and DataPrivilege were extensively judged by industry experts, against three key criteria:
