Why work at ISE

ISE analysts enjoy competitive pay and benefits, as well as an intellectually-stimulating work environment working with some of the industry's best hackers and information security professionals. We also get to break stuff.

At ISE we treat every security evaluation as a challenge. We're consistently pitting ourselves against some of the smartest security system designers in the industry. Working at ISE also means:

    * A relaxed work atmosphere with flexible hours. We expect our analysts to produce top quality work, and that means giving them a work environment that's conducive to creative thinking. While we occasionally need to crunch on a project, we generally don't believe that it's possible for our analysts to consistently work ridiculous hours and still produce good work.
    * The ability to pursue independent research. ISE analysts are creative people and are usually actively involved in pursuing security-related research. While we don't demand it, we want our people to spend some of their work hours contributing to projects or publishing in security conferences.
    * The opportunity to work on interesting and cutting-edge security systems. We don't spend our time running Nessus. The work we do is rarely boring, and it's important. We look at systems that are used by millions of people, and try to find flaws before someone else does.
    * Working with technical managers and peers. At ISE we believe that technical people work best when managed by technical people. The entire management staff at ISE has a background in computer security.
