Sales Engineer

XM Cyber is a continuous threat and exposure management solution that drives the most efficient remediation options for clients by understanding, continuously, all the ways that critical assets can be attacked. The technology turns the existing silo based cyber security model on its head and removes the big disconnect that exists within end user organisations where Security and IT teams have stopped working together as lists of CVE’s and other exposures get longer and longer! We are a SAAS based pre-ipo cyber security vendor that has the backing of the largest retailer in Europe, thereby avoiding the challenges that many vendors have with Seed/PE/VC investments – we have a long-term vision for the industry, our company, and allow our teams to think strategically.
