We usually talk tech here at Raxis, but, as you see in our Meet Our Team series, there’s a lot more to our lives! 

Today we’re taking a break from cybersecurity and exploits to show off our pets instead. You may have met them on a kick-off or debriefing call, and they are often our supervisors encouraging us to focus on the important things, such as their dinner or a walk.

We hope you enjoy this video of our furry and feathered friends!
