QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO YAKI FAITELSON, CEO AND CO-FOUNDER OF VARONIS

"Securing business data in Microsoft SharePoint is as important as it is in
Windows and Unix file system environments, but even more challenging because of
significant access control complexity and the rapid proliferation of SharePoint.
With this product, Varonis has leveraged its vast file system protection
expertise to bring comprehensive auditing and least privilege access guidance to
SharePoint data use. We`re very proud to be uniquely delivering SharePoint data
governance."

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO JOHN ANDERSON, VICE PRESIDENT FOR MCLAGAN

"When it comes to permissions and auditing access to data, SharePoint has all
the challenges of Windows file servers, if not more. We are eagerly anticipating
the new Varonis DatAdvantage for SharePoint, given our experience with
DatAdvantage."

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ARTHUR J. HEDGE III, PRESIDENT FOR CASTLE VENTURES LLC

"In my practice I have helped a lot of clients leverage the benefits of
SharePoint and I can say that managing access control is by far one of the
biggest challenges in getting the most from a SharePoint implementation. With
the advent of Varonis DatAdvantage, I can go to every customer and say that an
organization-wide SharePoint implementation is possible because I have the way
to secure and protect your SharePoint data."

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO BRIAN BABINEAU, SENIOR ANALYST FOR ENTERPRISE STRATEGY
GROUP

"An estimated 52 percent of organizations recently surveyed by ESG states that
implementing Microsoft SharePoint has been one of their top five IT initiatives
over the past 24 months. Many of these organizations are looking to SharePoint
for centralized file sharing to help employees to easily locate and retrieve
documents and assist IT administrators in reigning in the rapid growth of
unstructured business data. With SharePoint data growing at a minimum of 25
percent per year and the ability to set up new sites in a matter of minutes,
SharePoint administrators need management solutions to ensure all employees have
the proper access permissions to proprietary business data."
