  • Vulnerability Identification & Mitigation Strategy: Identify vulnerable application versions and paths exposing internal information, evaluate them based on business impact, and prioritize remediation efforts.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration & Proactive Defense: Work closely with infrastructure and development teams to swiftly eliminate vulnerable paths or apply protective measures before an attack surface leads to a real breach.
  • ASM Solution Implementation & Operation: Implement and operate commercial ASM solutions while simultaneously building and utilizing our own in-house Attack Surface Discovery tools.
  • ASM Automation Pipeline: Automate processes to streamline attack surface identification and establish integration architectures with existing security solutions.

  • Network & Cloud Security: In-depth knowledge of major network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, RDP, etc.) and web/cloud architecture security.
  • Cyber Attack Mechanisms (TTPs): Understanding of real-world attack mechanisms including attack path discovery, vulnerability exploitation, malware distribution/execution, lateral movement, DDoS, and supply chain attacks.
  • Language Proficiency: Intermediate or higher proficiency in English (Reading, Writing, Speaking) to communicate smoothly in a global environment.
  • Cloud Security Expertise: Understanding of infrastructure operations and security assessment experience in large-scale public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
