Why Now Is the Time to Jump into Cybersecurity and Join Imperva

Throughout history, periods of disruption are followed by eras of progress and transformation. While we are living through an unprecedented time, I believe we are on the cusp of another chapter of innovation — and I expect cybersecurity will be at the center of it.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time recognized in many parts of the world as a period to promote cybersecurity education and best practices, is also a time to inspire the exploration of careers in this dynamic and rapidly growing market. In fact, there’s never been a better time to join: globally, more than 3.5 million job opportunities are vacant.

This is an industry where both technical and non-technical skills have a place and where individuals can thrive and develop long-lasting careers. At Imperva, we have dozens of job opportunities available globally and are committed to recruiting the best and most promising talent — regardless of skin color, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. We recognize that true innovation requires a variety of experiences and backgrounds. It’s why we view diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) as a business imperative and an advantage. Creating a diverse workplace better supports our global team, improves company performance and enhances our customer impact.

For nearly two decades, Imperva has been innovating and disrupting the cybersecurity industry, helping our customers protect their data and all paths to it. Our people are central to the company’s continued success, and the reason why Imperva is growing rapidly and recognized as a market leader. At a time when so many individuals around the world are reassessing their priorities and adjusting their careers accordingly, Imperva is ready to be a home for those who want to apply their experiences and skills in a dynamic market and for a fast-growing company. We believe that collaborative talent and working hard delivers gratifying results for the employee, customer and company.

We’re proud of our roots in Israel, the epicenter for this burgeoning industry. At the same time, we continue to expand into new markets, knowing that disruptive thinkers and creators are all around us. With the definition of work continuing to evolve, Imperva is proud to support employees wherever and however they work best — believing that a physical office doesn’t define an employee’s success. This approach is essential for providing employees with the support they need to live their best lives, care for their loved ones and satisfy interests outside of work. This is not just a short-term company strategy — it’s fundamental to the way we are.

We are also committed to employee development and growth, ensuring that our top-performing talent has the challenges and opportunities required for professional advancement. We’re proud of the 23% of our current team that made a career step in the past year.

In the past quarter, we’ve also evolved our virtual, on-demand learning opportunities to help all employees access training that helps them develop new skills and prepare them for their next career step. In addition to helping employees grow individually with courses they select, we also promote learning opportunities that can apply to all Impervians — helping us grow together as one team.

At Imperva, we are full of innovators and creators who have demonstrated their commitment to building solutions that help our customers address complex challenges and protect their data and all paths to it. Today, technology is ingrained in every aspect of our lives, which makes the cybersecurity industry more relevant and important than ever before. That’s why there’s no better time to join Team Imperva.
