Want to be part of a company that frees you to innovate and implement your powerful ideas, as you help build the future of cybersecurity? Since 2012, CRITICALSTART has helped protect thousands of businesses from cyberattacks, prepared them for tomorrow’s threats, and racked up a long list of awards in the process.

We live and breathe innovation, not bureaucracy. CRITICALSTART built the first MOBILESOC app for on-the-go threat detection and response, developed a way to automatically resolve most security alerts, and created services to reduce the time spent investigating alerts by 99.3% (analysts really love us for that). 

We’re employee owned, and everything we do centers on three fundamental beliefs: Do what’s right for our customers. Do what’s right for our employees. Don’t do things that suck. Really, that’s it.

If you’d rather hear from our Critical Crew, watch this video to learn their thoughts. Read our Glassdoor reviews and you will see another inside view. (Pssst…Want to really catch our attention when you submit your resume? Include something about our Glassdoor reviews that spoke to you.)
