Unlike business application data, like a billing database or CRM system, or machine-generated data, such as the log files that servers generate, human-generated data is comprised of the emails, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, audio, and video files that we create and share with other people every day.

There is massive explosion of human generated data in the enterprise. It is one of the fastest-growing data sets, one of the most valuable and the most relevant for digital collaboration, mobile or otherwise.

Varonis is doing amazing things by mining actionable intelligence from human-generated data.
