Varonis Systems, Inc. (VRNS)

Data security software, contractors counted with employees. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 4, 2026. Ranked 92 of the 238 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states 2,658 employees and independent contractors at December 31, 2025, 1,139 in the United States, and describes one data security software business, so the whole count is read at software publishers by description with the contractors flagged.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 51% now, 68% at the end of 2027, 73% at the end of 2028, 75% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 75% desk work, 23% people work and 2% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 25% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 63% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

40 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing says cloud transformation and artificial intelligence initiatives are pushing data into more systems and making it accessible to AI agents, that the adoption of AI materially raises the stakes for security, and that AI can amplify risk where access controls are overly permissive.

• “Cloud transformation and artificial intelligence ("AI") initiatives are pushing data into more systems, across more environments and making it accessible to more users, applications and AI agents.”
• “We believe the adoption of AI materially raises the stakes for security and risk.”
• “When those controls are overly permissive, poorly understood and unmonitored, AI can unintentionally amplify risk by scaling access faster than organizations can manage manually.”
• “As companies customize AI agents and train their own small and large language models, we believe the security of data, identities, agents and underlying infrastructure will increasingly require automated solutions.”
• “We refer to this risk as the "blast radius." We believe organizations must continuously reduce their blast radius - limiting unnecessary ability to access, move or misuse data - to reap the tremendous benefits of AI.”
