Lead Tech Writer
Description
Who we are:
Panaseer is a unique business that is changing the face of enterprise security.
We are a fast-growing Cyber Security and Data Science start-up that helps organizations manage their security posture using automated metrics and reporting; protecting the critical services and data we all rely on.
Panaseer is the first Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform for enterprise security. CCM is solving the biggest challenge in cybersecurity today.
