Product Marketing Manager

We are a leading cybersecurity company working to fundamentally disrupt the way online investigations and intelligence gathering are conducted. This discipline is formally known as OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), and it is the rapidly growing field for gathering and analyzing information from public sources such as social media, websites and the dark web to assess threats, answer questions and make decisions. Businesses and government agencies use this information to gauge security risks, protect against fraud and information leaks, maintain national security, and conduct criminal investigations.

More than 700 of the largest, most at-risk commercial enterprises and government agencies trust Authentic8’s Silo for Research SaaS platform. It is the market-leading solution for conducting secure and anonymous digital investigations and intelligence work across the surface, deep and dark web.
