Information Security Analyst

Job DescriptionKey Responsibilities:Penetration Testing and Red Teaming:Conduct comprehensive penetration testing and red teaming exercises on systems, networks, applications, mobile platforms, and AI/ML environments to identify vulnerabilities and potential entry points for attackers.Perform AI system and model penetration testing, focusing on adversarial attacks, prompt injection, data poisoning, and model inversion vulnerabilities.Assess AI pipelines, APIs, and LLM-based integrations for misuse, data leakage, and unauthorized access risks.Develop and execute custom tools and scripts to automate testing and exploitation processes.Analyze and report on findings, providing detailed explanations of vulnerabilities and recommended remediation steps.Simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs) to test the resilience of security controls and incident response capabilities.ASM: Continuously discover and catalog all assets, including hardware, software, and network components.ASM: Monitor the attack surface for changes and potential vulnerabilities, using automated tools and manual assessments.Vulnerability Assessment: Perform thorough vulnerability assessments to identify and prioritize security weaknesses.Utilize industry-standard tools such as Qualys, Nessus or Nexpose and methodologies to uncover vulnerabilities in various environments.Provide actionable recommendations for remediation and mitigation strategies. Patch managementSupport AI-specific vulnerability scanning and review of data pipelines or model endpoints.Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment:Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of systems, networks, applications, and AI models to identify potential exploitation paths.Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to identify potential attack vectors and vulnerabilities Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of our systems, networks, and applications to identify potential vulnerabilitiesProvide recommendations for remediation and mitigation strategiesIncident Response and Crisis Management:Participate in security incident response and crisis management efforts as neededCollaborate with incident response teams to contain and remediate security incidentsProvide technical expertise and guidance during incident response effortsSecurity Research and Development:Research and develop adversarial testing techniques for AI models, including LLM prompt manipulation and training data leakage.Stay up to date with the latest security threats and trends, and adapt testing methodologies accordinglyDevelop and maintain a comprehensive knowledge of industry-leading security tools and technologiesParticipate in security research and development efforts to identify and develop new testing techniques and methodologiesCollaboration and Communication:Collaborate with development teams to implement security patches and fixesProvide technical guidance and support to development teams on security-related issuesCommunicate complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders in a clear and concise mannerResponsibilitiesKey Responsibilities:Penetration Testing and Red Teaming:Conduct comprehensive penetration testing and red teaming exercises on systems, networks, applications, mobile platforms, and AI/ML environments to identify vulnerabilities and potential entry points for attackers.Perform AI system and model penetration testing, focusing on adversarial attacks, prompt injection, data poisoning, and model inversion vulnerabilities.Assess AI pipelines, APIs, and LLM-based integrations for misuse, data leakage, and unauthorized access risks.Develop and execute custom tools and scripts to automate testing and exploitation processes.Analyze and report on findings, providing detailed explanations of vulnerabilities and recommended remediation steps.Simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs) to test the resilience of security controls and incident response capabilities.ASM: Continuously discover and catalog all assets, including hardware, software, and network components.ASM: Monitor the attack surface for changes and potential vulnerabilities, using automated tools and manual assessments.Vulnerability Assessment: Perform thorough vulnerability assessments to identify and prioritize security weaknesses.Utilize industry-standard tools such as Qualys, Nessus or Nexpose and methodologies to uncover vulnerabilities in various environments.Provide actionable recommendations for remediation and mitigation strategies.
