Job title: Cybersecurity Engineer
We are seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer for a future role. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with a variety of cybersecurity technologies and frameworks to protect the organization from evolving cyber threats. The Cybersecurity Engineer will be responsible for implementing, maintaining, and improving cybersecurity systems, responding to incidents, performing vulnerability assessments, and ensuring compliance with security standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Collect and analyze Threat Intelligence to identify emerging threats and mitigate potential risks.
Leverage SIEM tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, LogRhythm, and ArcSight for monitoring, alerting, and responding to security events.
Implement and respond to security incidents using CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and other endpoint security solutions.
Analyze and remediate advanced threats, leveraging tools like Metasploit, Nmap, and Nessus.
Perform vulnerability assessments using tools like Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys, Tenable, and Burp Suite.
Conduct penetration testing and security assessments using Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, and other security tools.
Identify, track, and manage security vulnerabilities across applications, systems, and networks.
Utilize Wireshark, Nmap, and TCPDump to monitor network traffic and perform deep packet inspection for suspicious activities.
Secure and monitor applications through OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite, ensuring secure coding practices are implemented.
Implement and manage Zero Trust Architecture to reduce risk and minimize the potential for unauthorized access.
Implement and manage endpoint protection solutions like CrowdStrike and Carbon Black to detect, prevent, and respond to advanced persistent threats (APT).
Conduct malware analysis using tools such as FTK, EnCase, IDA Pro, and Ghidra for forensic investigations.
Use tools like Aqua Security, Sysdig, and Falco for container and cloud-native security.
Participate in Red Team (offensive security) and Blue Team (defensive security) exercises to assess and improve the organization’s security posture.
Simulate real-world attacks to test defenses and develop strategies to strengthen security controls.
Collaborate with development teams to integrate security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through DevSecOps practices.
Perform security code reviews and identify potential security flaws in applications.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in cybersecurity, specifically in an engineering or analyst role.
Proficient with SIEM tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, LogRhythm, and ArcSight.
Experience in penetration testing using tools like Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, and Burp Suite.
Hands-on experience with endpoint security solutions, including CrowdStrike and Carbon Black.
Knowledge of Zero Trust Architecture and its implementation.
Strong knowledge of network security and experience with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and TCPDump.
Familiarity with Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs).
Experience with vulnerability scanning tools like Nessus, Qualys, Tenable, and OpenVAS.
Experience with container security tools like Aqua Security, Sysdig, and Falco.
Experience with forensics tools like FTK, EnCase, IDA Pro, and Ghidra.
Hands-on experience with DevSecOps and integrating security into the development lifecycle.
Experience with cloud security and container technologies (e.g., AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes).
Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell).
Knowledge of advanced malware analysis and reverse engineering techniques.
Familiarity with Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and DDoS mitigation strategies.
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent [with Part-time and Fixed-term options available].
