- Proofpoint to buy Varonis for $6.3B in all-cash data and AI security deal
Proofpoint announced on October 15 that it signed a merger agreement to acquire data security firm Varonis in an all-cash deal valued at about $6.3 billion, expected to close in the first half of 2027 subject to Varonis shareholder and regulatory approval. iThome, citing SecurityWeek, reported it is the largest cybersecurity acquisition announced so far in 2026. Both companies had already expanded into AI security: Varonis acquired AllTrue.ai in February and launched its enterprise AI security platform Varonis Atlas in March, while Proofpoint launched its AI agent security product Proofpoint AI Security in March and disclosed its Agentic Data and AI Security system in September. Proofpoint said it plans to combine the two companies' technologies into a unified data and AI security platform after closing; until then they will operate independently, and Varonis will delist from Nasdaq.
