After doubling its staff during the pandemic and achieving triple-digit annual recurring revenue growth in 2020, Axonius continues its rapid-growth trajectory, expanding globally and maintaining its commitment to product innovation.
“Our customer base is expanding rapidly and our core engineering team remains focused on supporting these organizations and adding new features to meet their needs,” said Dean Sysman, co-founder and CEO of Axonius. “Launching a new business unit focused on research and product development enables us to build for scale from the outset.
