🌍 About Abusix

At Abusix, we're a fully remote company united by a shared mission: to make the internet a safer place. Our small, globally distributed team spans multiple countries—from the U.S. to Europe to the Philippines—and thrives in a culture rooted in trust, ownership, and collaboration.

We've been pioneers in the network abuse management space for 15 years, back when abuse management was unknown to 99% of people. Today, we transform complex network and security data into actionable insights through our three Guardian products: real-time blocklists against email threats, SaaS tool for network abuse management, and threat intelligence to prevent attacks.

Our vision is to build a global platform where internet stakeholders collaborate by sharing relevant, real-time security data to solve abuse and cybersecurity challenges together.
