Zafran is on a mission to stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities everywhere. We’re transforming how security teams prioritize and reduce risk, moving beyond legacy vulnerability management toward a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) operating model that actually works in the real world.
We’re looking for a seasoned cybersecurity leader to join us as a Field CISO, someone who has built and scaled security programs and understands the real-world operational challenges modern teams face. In this high-impact, customer-facing role at the intersection of security strategy and go-to-market, you’ll partner with Sales and SE on strategic opportunities, frame problems the way security leaders experience them, and help organizations operationalize CTEM to drive measurable exposure reduction.
About Zafran:
Our Mission: To stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities, everywhere.
What makes us different: Zafran de-risks 90% of critical vulnerabilities overnight across your hybrid environment and utilizes Agentic Capabilities and your existing security tools to rapidly mitigate and remediate the 10% most likely to be exploited.
Who’s behind us: Zafran is backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, and a deep belief that cybersecurity should move as fast as attackers do. We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, scaling to meet demand from the world’s most advanced, security-obsessed organizations.
