The platform provides a unified view of cyber risk, continuous detection of control lapses, AI-powered detection, prioritization, and orchestration, and real-time posture monitoring.

Our mission is to protect data by helping businesses manage cybersecurity risk. Our shared values guide us:

• Care about our team: We understand employee needs and provide resources for them to do their best work.
• Be excellent to each other: We promote openness, honesty, and kindness, and rely on peers for improvement.
• Pride in what we do: We value quality and integrity in all our work.
• Don’t #!&$ the customer: We focus on understanding customer needs and ensuring their success.
• Do the impossible: We are energized by difficult problems, embrace unknowns, and question ‘Why not?’.

We are a distributed team with many remote employees and offices in Mountain View, California (US HQ), Hobart, Tasmania, and Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Our global team comes together every other year for a ‘Safari offsite’ to bond and strategize.

We solve cybersecurity problems, helping organizations assess, measure, and reduce risks. We are venture-backed and profitable, with thousands of customers globally. Our work is supported by cyber research.

Our culture values curiosity, encouraging team members to ask ‘Why’ and ‘Why not?’. We seek individuals who challenge convention and use intuition backed by data. We welcome those without a traditional cybersecurity background. We emphasize transparency and autonomy, promoting simple and effective workflows. New hires are given responsibility and autonomy. We are an equal opportunity employer and are recognized as a Great Place to Work™.

We provide employees a monthly lifestyle subsidy for their well-being and a WFH set-up allowance within their first three months. We offer an annual USD $1500 learning and development allowance. We provide annual leave, including PTO and two additional UpGuardian leave days. We also offer 18 weeks of paid parental leave and a personal leave allowance for sick and carer’s leave. All team members receive top-spec hardware for their roles and a generative AI subsidy for access to AI tools. We also provide a personal device security and online privacy protection subsidy.
