THE CLIENT

Our client is a high-growth start-up enabling businesses to manage the increasing risk that cyber threats pose to their reputation and operations. They are a team of technical, dedicated and passionate cyber security experts who have an in-depth understanding of the tools and techniques today’s attackers employ.

They provide a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) as-a-service that combines their specialist skills with a fully integrated technology platform and global threat intelligence. This enables organisations to proactively prevent or limit the damage a cyber-breach can inflict in a way that is much more cost-effective than attempting to carry out this activity in-house.

Our client is growing rapidly and are now looking to hire a talented and ambitious senior product manager to ensure that products and services are developed fully aligned with the objectives of the business overall and keep up to date with the latest advances in security technology.
