Company Description

Our Mission

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before.

We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we're looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

Our Approach to Work

We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants.

This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective.

This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together
