Needs

Cloud security posture. Our platform runs offensive operations from our cloud, so any misconfiguration on our side would be a serious problem.

Today: dedicated attack engineers with cloud specialists run offensive checks across public cloud accounts · Urgency: this year

Regulatory reporting. Federal and regulated customers need formal authorization paperwork from us, which consumes scarce engineering time.

Today: federal high-baseline authorisation maintained with continuous evidence packages for government customers · Urgency: this year

Technical hiring. Finding people with real offensive security skills who also write production code takes far too long.

Today: heavy engineering and attack-engineer recruiting after a large raise; people operations team supports · Urgency: now
