What this means for employees
The results are a positive demand signal for Zero Trust SASE, Agentic SecOps, data security and AI-security teams. Because part of the reported growth came from the Red Canary acquisition and fiscal 2027 guidance implies slower growth, candidates should still confirm the budget and strategic importance of the exact team.

Flags verdict
Worth a closer look
This is a constructive signal for candidates. Confirm that the position is approved, net-new and supported beyond the current quarter.
Ask this in the interview
Is this role tied to the growing AI security and Zero Trust platforms, and is its budget approved independently of acquisition integration?
