  • Conduct thorough testing and validation of our security solutions against simulated APT attacks, ensuring robust defense mechanisms are in place.
  • Collaborate closely with other solution teams to assess the impact of simulated attacks and contribute to the refinement of defensive strategies and security controls.
  • Document findings, including detailed technical reports and actionable recommendations, to drive improvements in our threat detection and response capabilities.
  • Participate in post-exercise debriefings to analyze attack simulations and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for our red teaming methodologies and security solutions.
  • Stay abreast of the latest cybersecurity trends, emerging APT groups, and evolving attack methodologies, incorporating this knowledge into our red teaming practices

  • Strong knowledge of Windows administration and Active Directory management.
  • Familiarity with cloud integration and hybrid environments.
  • Proven experience in red team operations and familiarity with tools and techniques used in offensive cybersecurity.
  • In-depth understanding of advanced persistent threats (APTs), their methodologies, and the ability to emulate their behavior.
  • Strong ability to develop and simulate complex cyber-attack scenarios and manage red team exercises.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think like both an attacker and a defender.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working effectively with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certifications such as OSCP, CEH, or other relevant cybersecurity certifications.
  • Experience with scripting and programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
  • Experience conducting research and analysis of APT groups, their tools, and infrastructure.
  • Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
