Job Description & Requirements
WithSecure Consulting delivers research-led cyber security to defend organizations, society and people from real-world attacks and build resilience into their approach. Our people are a mix of technical and creative experts – diverse, talented, and passionate people – working tirelessly to help us advance the industry with new ways of thinking. They lead their own development, in and out of the office. They call the shots when it comes to building a place to call home in our organization.
We currently have an opening for a Security Consultant within our Singapore office! Your role will involve carrying out penetration testing and security assessments of typical and unique pieces of technology to sophisticated and progressive cloud-native systems.
We’d also love you to do some research to ensure your skills remain relevant in a fast paced world of security.
How you spend the rest of the time that’s not working with clients is your call. WithSecure has a commitment to research. Based on their skillset and inclination, our consultants get a percentage of their time dedicated to security research. Whether it is used to investigate new software, hardware or protocols, we encourage our team to push the boundaries of what is possible!
What we need:
We solve complex cyber-security problems on a daily basis and to do that requires an interesting mix of skills. To be successful at WithSecure and help our clients with their challenges we know you’ll need the following:
1. A passion for security! You love computers, you love security and you love hacking things and solving problems. If this wasn’t your job it would be your hobby. Technical excellence. You know your subject area, but you’ll also know what that subject area is without us needing to say.
2. Self-motivation You’re not going to be told what to do all the time. You are capable of figuring out what spending time working is of benefit to WithSecure and our clients and then run with it. With great freedom comes great responsibility and you also seek out guidance from those around you when you need it.
3. Communication skills - How can we add value to our clients organisations unless we can tell them what we did, how we did it, and how they can fix it? But communication also extends to sharing your knowledge with your colleagues and the wider industry. Our consultants work as a team and all members are expected to suggest and implement improvements to procedures and products based on their experience and interaction with clients. They are also encouraged to share their knowledge with the WithSecure team as part of the company’s information sharing culture.
