Junior Threat Analyst

Our vision is clear. Arming companies with the insights to ensure every piece of software built or bought is safe. That every threat is detected, and the deployment risks are well understood. An innovative vision requires creative people to help forge this transformational journey at ReversingLabs. ReversingLabs is recognized by the cybersecurity industry as a leader in innovation. Investment from Crosspoint capital of $56M will support our growth and efforts to build scalable, automated and intelligent software security solutions.

In this day and age, with systems and people under attack day and night by highly advanced cyber threats, a swift but detailed analysis of current threats and attack vectors is necessary. Given the number of such attacks, this is no small feat.

As a member of the threat analyst team, you will often have to put yourself in the attacker’s shoes, correlate even the tiniest clues with millions of metadata records, and try to connect the dots to completely understand the attack chain. Finally, to prevent such attacks from happening again, you will need to transform your knowledge into a rule-based format that our analysis solutions understand, effectively shielding other potential victims.

Of course, we don’t expect you to be able to tackle threats right off the bat. Based on your skill level, you will undergo a specially crafted training during the first few months to sharpen your skills before entering the arena. Do you have what it takes?
