Cybersecurity Engineer for Enterprise Penetration Testing Project
Skills Required
Description
Penetration testing in an enterprise environment requires a detail-oriented engineer who can identify weaknesses before attackers exploit them. This role involves simulating real-world attack scenarios, testing firewalls, and conducting vulnerability assessments across multiple systems.
Linux expertise will be important since many enterprise servers and applications run on Linux-based environments. The engineer must know how to navigate these systems, identify potential misconfigurations, and use them as an entry point during testing.
The project will also involve assessing firewall configurations and overall network security. Ensuring proper access controls, monitoring logs, and validating rule sets will help strengthen the company’s defense layers.
Key responsibilities include:
Performing penetration tests on applications and networks
Identifying and documenting vulnerabilities
Assessing Linux server configurations
Reviewing firewall policies for misconfigurations
Providing clear, actionable remediation steps
Testing isn’t just about finding flaws; it’s about ensuring that fixes are practical. The engineer should work closely with the internal IT and security teams to validate remediation steps and confirm that vulnerabilities are resolved.
Security auditing will form part of the engagement. Reviewing compliance with best practices and internal security standards will give the organiz...
