  • Execute Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) on web and API applications (both authenticated and unauthenticated) using enterprise-grade tools;

analyze, validate, and prioritize findings with actionable remediation guidance.

  • Run Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) scenarios to test resilience against real-world adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
  • Prepare comprehensive technical reports and executive-level summaries highlighting vulnerabilities, attack paths, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps.
  • Continuously research emerging attack vectors, zero-day vulnerabilities, DAST methodologies, and new CIS benchmark updates to refine assessment strategies.

  • Solid understanding of network protocols, operating system behaviors, and common application security principles relevant to modern IT environments.
  • Hands-on experience with CIS Benchmark implementation and verification across diverse platforms, ensuring alignment with client compliance mandates.
  • Familiarity with BAS tools and adversary emulation frameworks to measure detection and response maturity.
  • Proficiency in scripting / automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash) to extend testing capabilities or validate findings.
  • Working knowledge of security architecture frameworks (e.G., SABSA) and threat modeling methodologies (e.G., STRIDE, kill chains, attack trees) to support risk-informed vulnerability assessments, hardening efforts, and remediation planning.
  • Ability to write and present detailed remediation reports, security recommendations, and compliance-aligned hardening outputs.
  • Strong communication skills to convey technical findings to technical and executive stakeholders.
