The Role

Proofpoint is looking for a high energy software engineer to join the Threat Response product team. Cloud Threat Response is one of the fastest growing products at Proofpoint. It revolutionizes how customers manage the increasing volume and complexity of cyber-attacks.  The explosion of new threat detection technologies is creating a huge volume of security alerts that overwhelm manual security response processes and lead to delays or errors that can land companies in the headlines. Threat Response closes the gap between cyber-attack detection and containment by providing a platform that unifies security infrastructure, allowing customers to analyze and respond to security events in real time.
