Front Line Defenders Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At CyberMaxx, we believe it is our duty to defend against those committed to wide-scale societal disruption through cyberattacks.

We help our customers reduce risk by tightly integrating MDR with offensive security, threat hunting, security research, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) to continually adapt to new and evolving threats. Our modern MDR (Managed Detection & Response) approach is tailored to the unique characteristics and risk factors of each customer, enabling us to take full ownership of the response process and, optionally, manage key security controls.

By thinking like an adversary and defending like a guardian, we help our customers stay a step ahead of threat actors.
