Cybereason today announced numerous corporate and product milestones achieved during the past 12 months. Highlights include the company increasing revenue by 300 percent and tripling its workforce to 260 employees.
Cybereason is one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies and is quickly becoming the leading choice for enterprises looking to combat sophisticated threats. Additional 12 month corporate highlights include:
Global Headquarters Relocation: Cybereason moved its global headquarters to a world-class, iconic 62-story, 790-foot skyscraper at 200 Clarendon Street known to all as the John Hancock Building, a hallmark of Boston’s vibrant economy. More than 100 Cybereason employees share the 15,000-square foot space.

“Cybereason’s growth is the direct result of the achievements reached by our world-class employees across the globe and is a reflection of our growing customer base, comprised of enterprises that see the value in our technology and vision. The reality in today’s digitally, connected world is that hackers have the advantage over the vast majority of enterprises because of legacy, antiquated technologies that simply no longer work. What Cybereason is doing is turning the tables on nation states and hacking groups, exposing them and giving the advantage back to companies of all sizes,” said Lior Div, co-founder and CEO.
International Expansion
Cybereason expanded internationally with the opening of its EMEA office in London in November 2016 to drive growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office also supports current customers and partners in Europe. Simon Sharp was named Vice President of EMEA.
In April 2016, Cybereason launched Cybereason Japan, a joint venture between Cybereason and Softbank, and it has already delivered Cybereason’s award-winning technology to many Japanese companies.
