But every move also means major opportunity. We sat down with Chief Information Security Officer Heather Hinton to gain a better understanding of what it takes to maintain the highest levels of compliance, security and performance while growing at incredible speed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Innovation. Growth. Velocity.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you innovate at the pace we do at RingCentral,\u201d Hinton observed, \u201c(Security) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has something to do.\u201d Technological innovation and expansion bring about challenges from two primary areas: an ever-changing threat landscape and the unique risks of specific geographical areas. RingCentral\u2019s security team is constantly monitoring for DDOS attacks, ransomware, malware, geopolitical threats and more. The SecOps team is constantly pressure-testing themselves to keep their edge, as well as responding to threats like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/log4j-flaw-hacking-internet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log4J<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> , or whatever else comes down the pike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Think globally. Secure locally.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, the EU enforces stricter privacy laws than the United States. Although RingCentral\u2019s security team is already delivering best-in-class solutions above-and-beyond the status-quo, we\u2019ve remained committed to putting our EU customers\u2019 needs first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RingCentral team in Europe will be locally staffed and European customers will be deployed out of Europe resident infrastructures, which will host European customer data and support provision of our services from Europe. This will provide users with the peace of mind knowing their information is not only protected by EU laws, but physically within their borders.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other companies might have tried to get EU approval for a North American approach, but RingCentral chose to meet local standards with local infrastructure and talent. \u201cIt\u2019s the cleanest, clearest way to tell the marketplace &#8211; \u201cWe\u2019ve heard you,\u201d says Hinton. \u201cIt\u2019s a position that says: \u201cWe understand, and we respect your data and treat it with the level of confidentiality that you have told us you require.\u201d\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Eastern Promise.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, the company is building out a Network Operations Center in Tallinn, Estonia &#8211; a cosmopolitan, centrally located city that\u2019s earned a reputation as a European tech hotspot. \u201cFirst and foremost, Estonia boasts a high IT quotient amongst its population,\u201d says Hinton, \u201c\u2026both young and experienced, which will give us access to the talent we need to succeed both now and later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Next-level cybersecurity. Next-level opportunities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI&#8217;ve been in this space for a really long time, so I&#8217;m biased,\u201d says Hinton, \u201cbut, I love this. I can\u2019t imagine another career field with as many opportunities to do so many fun things, work with creative people, and really make an immediate contribution. Where do you have more impact, make a greater contribution, than cybersecurity?\u201d Right now, RingCentral is hiring both new and experienced Application Security Testers, and Audit specialists, as well as SecOps and Service Abuse experts and more.
