Want to help save the world? Help us stop the modern hacker.

Sophisticated attacks are breaking through conventional safeguards every single day. Organized criminals, hacktivists, governments and adversaries are compelled by financial gain, politics and notoriety to attack valuable government and corporate assets. Their attack operations are well-funded and business-like -- attackers patiently evaluating targets based on potential effort and reward. Their methods are extremely targeted -- they use social media and other entry points to track down people with access, take advantage of trust and exploit them as vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, negligent employees inadvertently put the business at risk via human error and even worse, the rapid adoption of new technologies such as mobile and cloud only serve to increase the number of attack vectors. Security investments of the past simply fail to protect against these new classes of attacks.

Join us as we build the next generation of security software built around cognitive systems that leverage data mining, machine learning and natural language processing to defend against the most advanced cybersecurity threats facing the world today.
