"Cybereason's growth is the direct result of the achievements reached by our world-class employees across the globe and is a reflection of our growing customer base, comprised of enterprises that see the value in our technology and vision. The reality in today's digitally, connected world is that hackers have the advantage over the vast majority of enterprises because of legacy, antiquated technologies that simply no longer work. What Cybereason is doing is turning the tables on nation states and hacking groups, exposing them and giving the advantage back to companies of all sizes," said Lior Div, co-founder and CEO.
