• Identify, analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and design gaps in networks, applications, and infrastructure.

• Drive "security by design" improvements through clear, actionable recommendations.

• Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Work closely with incident response, SOC, and purple-team colleagues to translate offensive findings into enhanced detection and remediation strategies.

• Present technical findings and remediation roadmaps to both technical teams and executive stakeholders.

Key Activities

1. Vulnerability Assessment Specialist
