Job Description:
ExtraHop is reinventing Network Detection and Response (NDR) to
help enterprises and organziations stay ahead of emerging threats
with unmatched network visibility, context, and control. Today’s
attackers bypass traditional security defenses through
identity-based entry, move invisibly across cloud, on-premise, and
data center networks using encryption and trusted applications, and
exploit and exit whenever they want. But all of that movement is
visible on the network if you can see it. By combining the power of
NDR with Network Performance Management (NPM), Intrusion Detection
Systems (IDS), and forensics in a single, integrated platform,
ExtraHop can decrypt and unlock complete packet-level data at wire
speed, analyze and correlate it across all your networks,
applications, devices, and users with cloud-scale machine learning,
and provide a single interface to the SOC to detect, investigate,
and remediate modern cyber risks in real time. We are looking for a
