…Company culture is at our core

Our 5 core values are more than just words—they are a way of life for us. We know that companies with a strong culture and a higher purpose perform better in the long run.

Do our values speak to you?

• Pursuit of excellence

Data security companies that aren't constantly improving every aspect of what they mean by 'excellent' shouldn't exist.

• Resilience

Security is a marathon without a finish line. Our customers and employees must have the support they need.

• Mission focus

We are here to protect the world's most sensitive data and create a safer digital future for all.

• Accountability

Trust is earned through actions, not blame or wishful thinking. Fulfill promises and take responsibility for mistakes.

• Embracing conflict

To reach consensus and problem-solve quickly, it's important to communicate honestly and courageously.
