Meet the Team
Cisco Security Business Group (SBG) is at the forefront of developing solutions for addressing the security challenges of our customers. With annual revenue exceeding $3B, it is one of the fastest growing businesses at Cisco. As Cisco is redefining its business model aggressively to a software and recurring revenue model, security business is leading this journey with 40%+ YoY growth in software recurring revenue.
The Cloud Security group within SBG focuses on developing cloud delivered security solutions (SaaS based) in a platform centric approach. This group values and nurtures innovation in an incredibly powerful and high growth domain. The group was formed by combining some of the existing cloud assets Cisco had with two hugely successful acquisitions - OpenDNS and CloudLock. Our vision is to build the most complex security solutions in a cloud delivered way with utmost simplicity - disrupt industry's thinking around how deep and how broad a security solution can be while keeping it easy to deploy and simple to manage. We are at an exciting stage of this journey with 100% YoY growth, and looking for a hard-working, innovative, and productive engineering leader for our Product and Infra Engineering group to help us scale our business.
Why is cloud security relevant? Because today's world has changed. The way we work has fundamentally changed. There are more roaming users than ever with rapid growth of BYOD. Business applications have moved to the cloud. Enterprise's critical infrastructure has been moving to public/private cloud. At the same time, the threat landscape has drastically changed with increased sophistication of attacks. The notion of traditional perimeter-based security is being disrupted. Since users, apps and infrastructure have all moved to cloud, security must too. Welcome to the team of geeks passionate about solving this very problem and making world a better place...a secure place.
We have a highly scalable cloud infrastructure spread across 40+ data centers where we run our cloud security applications that operate at massive scale - 500B+ requests per day from 65M+ daily active users.
Your Impact
We understand our outstanding opportunity to bring communities together and at the heart of that is our people. One-third of Cisconians collaborate in our 30 employee resource organizations, called Inclusive Communities, to connect, foster belonging, learn to be informed allies, and make a difference. Dedicated paid time off to volunteer - 80 hours each year, allows us to give back to causes we are passionate about, and nearly 86% do!
Our purpose, driven by our people, is what makes us the worldwide leader in technology that powers the internet. Helping our customers reimagine their applications, secure their enterprise, transform their infrastructure, and meet their sustainability goals is what we do best. We ensure that every step we take is a step towards a more inclusive future for all. Take your next step and be you, with us!
