Cybersecurity Analyst to Conduct Penetration Testing and Security Audit

Skills Required

Description

Strong cybersecurity begins with identifying weak points before attackers do. A thorough penetration test provides the visibility needed to uncover vulnerabilities across applications, networks, and infrastructure.

The analyst’s role goes beyond scanning — it involves simulating real-world attack scenarios, testing firewalls, reviewing server configurations, and analyzing Linux-based environments to ensure no gap is left unchecked.

A structured security audit ensures compliance with industry standards while also validating that best practices are in place for data protection and threat prevention. This process highlights not only immediate risks but also long-term improvements to harden overall security.

🔒 Key tasks include vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, firewall evaluation, and security hardening recommendations. The analyst will also provide a detailed audit report with prioritized steps for remediation.

Ultimately, this effort strengthens the organization’s defense posture, reduces risks of breaches, and ensures sensitive data remains protected in a constantly evolving threat landscape.
