- Monitor and analyze emerging cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits relevant to our infrastructure and products.
- Design and execute Red Team Operations against one of the largest and most innovative companies in the world.
- Bring insight into all aspects of modern security issues to our products and rapidly developing prototypes for mitigations.
