Principal Architect

Job Description:

The next evolution of AI powered cyber defense is here.

With the rise of cloud and modern technologies, organizations struggle with the vast amount of data and thereby security alerts generated by their existing security tools. Cyberattacks continue to get more sophisticated and harder to detect in the sea of alerts and false positives. According to the Forrester 2023 Enterprise Breach Benchmark Report, a security breach costs organizations an average of $3M and takes organizations over 200 days to investigate and respond.

AiStrike's platform aims at reducing the time to investigate and respond to threats by over 90%. Our approach is to leverage the power of AI and machine learning to adopt an attacker mindset to prioritize and automate cyberthreat investigation and response. The platform reduces alerts by 100:5 and provides detailed context and link analysis capabilities to investigate the alert. The platform also provides collaborative workflow and no code automation to cut down the time to respond to threats significantly.

If you have the desire to join the next evolution of cyber defense, are willing to work hard and learn fast, and be part of building something special, this is the company for you.
