Awake Security Named One of Inc. Magazine’s 2019 “Best Workplaces”

Mission-Driven Culture Inspires Employees to Solve the Latest Security Challenges for Customers

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Awake Security, the only advanced network traffic analysis (NTA) company that delivers a privacy-aware solution, today announced that Inc. magazine has recognized it as a 2019 “Best Workplaces”, which is the magazine’s fourth annual ranking in the fast-growing private company sector. Awake Security understands the importance of fostering a positive culture and camaraderie among its employees, which earned the company a prestigious placement on this year’s list.

Awake Security instills a sense of purpose within its employees, making them excited to get up every day to grow their talents and to solve the latest security challenges for their customers and the overall digital ecosystem. This mission is guided by three core principles:

• Belief: Employees believe in the company’s mission, which focuses on making customers successful in their missions. They believe the solution Awake delivers to the market is integral to that and they clearly see their own role in delivering the solution.
• Persistence: Awake recognizes that this is not an easy journey. Given the company operates in the security space, persistence in fighting off skilled and determined attackers is vital.
• Being Unreasonable: From its founding, Awake has challenged the accepted solutions and in doing so has taken an approach that others might consider unreasonable or impossible. Awake believes this is how the balance of power will swing from the attackers to the defenders.

“We are thrilled to be considered as an Inc. magazine ‘Best Workplaces’. This honor gives our team the national recognition it deserves for the incredible work they do to create innovative technologies that help thwart some of the most complex cyber threats facing organizations today,” said Rahul Kashyap, president and CEO of Awake Security. “Our employees represent some of the world’s best minds in security and play an integral role in breaking new ground in machine learning, data science, security, user experience, and network engineering.”

Awake’s relentless focus on its mission motivates its employees to innovate. As sophisticated attackers adapt tactics, techniques, and procedures to blend in with business-justified activity and avoid detection, the Awake platform helps organizations autonomously hunt and respond to threats missed by traditional security solutions, especially in the middle of the kill chain when the attacker is inside the network and rather than using malware, uses existing business-justified tools.

"With today's tight labor market, building a great corporate culture is more important than ever,” said James Ledbetter, editor in chief of Inc. magazine. “The companies on Inc.'s ‘Best Workplaces’ list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from."

This is not the first time Awake has been deemed a best place to work. Awake also received recognition by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal as a Bay Area “Best Places to Work” earlier this year.
