Director of Security

Israel · Full-time · Management

About The Position

Founded by security experts from Unit 8200 and led by executives from industry leaders such as Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft Security, and IBM Security, CardinalOps is focused on maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of our customer’s existing security stacks.

Using automation and MITRE ATT&CK, the CardinalOps platform continuously assesses their detection posture and eliminates coverage gaps in their existing SIEM/XDRs — Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Google Chronicle SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, Sumo Logic — so they can easily implement a threat-informed defense. What’s more, it drives cost savings and greater efficiencies by recommending new ways to tune noisy and inefficient queries, reduce logging volume, and eliminate underused tools in their stacks. 

 

We are looking for a Director of Security who will lead our security research and operations. Reporting to the CTO, you will be responsible for providing our customers with security policies that address their most urgent gaps.
