Help us change the face of cybersecurity
Enigma is discovering the next generation of cyber talent.
We’ve created a unique puzzle-based screening platform that evaluates the real-world skills security analysts need to succeed. Our assessments help hiring managers identify the best talent by giving every candidate a chance to show what they can do. The cybersecurity industry is growing, and companies need to build better, more diverse teams faster. They can no longer rely on outdated screening processes and metrics like certifications to find the best talent. At Enigma, we believe that what you can do is more important than your background, and our platform gives every candidate the chance to demonstrate their skills.
And screening is just the start. Using our assessment data, we are building The Enigma Community -- the most comprehensive database of cyber talent. Ultimately, we aim to become the source of truth for professionals to showcase their skills (think: LinkedIn for cybersecurity).
We're also backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors (including General Catalyst and Bloomberg Beta).
