What makes the Security department at Gong unique? 

Here at Gong, we trust and empower our employees with ownership to solve complex problems, make the right decisions, and build the best products that create radical impact. We call it “Own. Solve. Impact.” 

Our security team is at the forefront of a monumental shift in implementing processes. Instead of simply saying "no," we embrace the mindset of "let's explore how we can make it work." Our security team brings a wealth of backgrounds, experience, and wisdom to the table. Which means that age comes before security, or is it the other way around?
