Overview
How we approach cyber security hiring
Security hiring is judged on credibility. Practitioners can tell within minutes whether the person representing a role understands the difference between adversary simulation and a scanner report.
We keep cyber security as a core practice rather than a line on a services page, which is why security briefs here are scoped against threat model, tooling reality and reporting line rather than a keyword list.
- 01
Offensive security
Red team, penetration testing, adversary simulation and offensive tooling.
- 02
Detection and response
Detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response and security operations.
- 03
Application and product security
AppSec, secure development, security engineering embedded in product teams.
- 04
Cloud and infrastructure security
Cloud security architecture, identity, zero trust and platform guardrails.
- 05
Governance, risk and compliance
Security governance, risk, audit readiness and regulatory engagement.
