Zertificon, Your application, and Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden will receive headhunter commission for Berlin IT security job applicants

Securing confidential electronic communication is our mission.

Edward Snowden unveiled the magnitude of mass government surveillance programs’ overreach on privacy to the globe. Controversial to some, yet in the eyes of most IT security specialists, he is a hero. We can’t but celebrate Snowden’s moral courage to defend fundamental liberties we also hold dear.

At the heart of everything we do at Zertificon lies information privacy as an imperative right for a free, fair global economy. Snowden’s whistleblowing triggered a worldwide policy and technology shift to mitigate privacy concerns. He awoke the public to the ever-looming cyberthreat danger from hackers to espionage and everything in between. Thanks to him, everyone knows better than to leave private and business data unprotected in digital communication.

Do you feel the same about Edward Snowden? If so, we think you might enjoy becoming part of our team! We donate 1000 Euros to Edward Snowden for every newly hired employee who refers him in their application.
