- The company has just announced record results from its 2020 fiscal year, demonstrating continued acceleration in growth. The company exited fiscal 2020 with more than $190m in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Since 2019 the company has added over 120 new employees worldwide to support this growth, bringing total headcount to over 860.
“In 2019 we continued to focus on our customers and creating a safer and more secure environment as people and endpoint devices move between home and work. With today’s dramatic shift to remote work, this effort has now proven to be more relevant than ever before. Last year not only did we help customers prevent and recover from active attacks, we also collaborated with law enforcement, nonprofits and other vendors on taking down stalkerware as part of our efforts to give back to the greater community,” said Marcin Kleczynski, co-founder & CEO of Malwarebytes. “As we move ahead in 2020, we continue our work to make cybersecurity easier and more effective – no matter where users are sitting – while reducing the workloads of overburdened cybersecurity teams with a strong emphasis on privacy and protection for business customers and consumers alike.”
