Why Red Canary
Red Canary was founded to make security for every business better by protecting organizations around the world from cyber threats. Our combination of market defining technology, processes, and expertise delivered using an innovative SaaS model is preventing breaches every day.
The Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) continues to push the boundaries of threat detection and response with a unique combination of operations, threat research, and engineering in tight integration with the development team that designs our analysis platform and the Red Canary Threat Detection Engine.
Why You Matter
The security landscape is always shifting and introducing new adversaries. The Red Canary CIRT operates 24/7 to track down threats in endpoint data and deliver fast and actionable detections to our customers.
You will set a high cadence for detection operations while maintaining focus on strategic goals and long-term growth. Under your guidance, Detection Engineering will improve scalability through automation while delivering concise and actionable detections to our customers. Your team will be seen as one of the highest quality, most advanced, and most transparent in the industry.
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated success building and directing high performing operational security teams. A strategic understanding of threat detection and the information security industry is required.
Who You Are
You get excited to build and lead great security teams that are the last line of defense defending the companies and brands that we love and depend on. You know adversaries continually change tactics, businesses evolve, but your team is constantly vigilant through it all.
