Now, what is Dazz?

At Dazz, we’re on a mission to help security and engineering teams simplify and automate security remediation processes. It’s a win-win situation: with more efficient and effective operations, cybersecurity teams are able to be more strategic about security posture management and developers are able to spend more time innovating, and less time fixing. 

Our Unified Remediation Platform rapidly uncovers blind spots, prioritizes issues, and streamlines fixes in a developer-friendly workflow, so risk windows shrink from weeks to hours, making Dazz a critical foundation for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), DevSecOps, and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) initiatives. 

At Dazz, we believe that employment is a two-way street. We want you to thrive in your role, pushing yourself, acquiring new knowledge, receiving timely feedback, and being presented with growth opportunities. Our goal is to create an exceptional work environment at Dazz—one that transforms your experience here into something truly remarkable.
