About The Position

XM Cyber is a continuous threat and exposure management solution that drives the most efficient remediation options for clients by continuously understanding all the ways that critical assets can be attacked.

It removes the big disconnect within end-user organisations where Security and IT teams have stopped working together as lists of CVEs and other exposures get longer and longer We are a SAAS based pre-ipo cyber security vendor that has the backing of the largest retailer in Europe thereby avoiding the challenges that many vendors have with Seed/PE/VC investments – we have a long-term vision for the industry, our company and allow our teams to think strategically.
