About UpGuard
UpGuard's platform, which it calls cyber risk posture management, combines security ratings, third-party vendor risk assessment, attack surface monitoring and threat intelligence so security teams can track exposure across their own estate and their suppliers. Its two security openings are senior ones: a chief information security officer for UpGuard itself and a staff security engineer covering product and cloud. Both list Sydney as their location and allow remote work.

Some of these links can earn us a fee from the employer or partner; the salary you are offered is the same either way.
A few links on CyberJobs.cc are referral links: when one leads to a hire, a sign-up or a purchase (a lab, a course or a tool marked Partner), the company behind it may pay CyberJobs.cc a fee. You pay nothing extra, and it never changes the salary an employer offers you or which roles the board lists.
