About the job

As a Security Consultant, you will be responsible for helping clients effectively prepare for, proactively mitigate, and detect and respond to cyber security threats.

You may also test client networks, applications and devices by emulating the latest techniques to help them defend against threats, and will be the technical advocate for information security requirements and provide an in-depth understanding of the information security domain. You will also articulate and present complex concepts to business stakeholders, executive leadership, and technical contributors and successfully lead complex engagements alongside cross functional teams.

Mandiant's Team delivers bespoke high value assessment, including adversarial emulation engagements and application security testing. This may involve delivering a Threat Intelligence-led Red Team for a large enterprise, preparing command and control infrastructure, social-developing, attempting to compromise internet-facing systems, conducting privilege escalation and lateral movement within customer networks, exfiltrating data from the network all while avoiding detection from the customer security operations teams, assessing high value web application against modern threats or advising the client on best practices regarding cyber defense mechanisms.
