The Role:

In this dynamic and fast-paced role, you will be working with an international team of cybersecurity experts to tackle threats against our local and global customers' assets (media and games for example). The perfect opportunity for someone who gets excited about the world of cybersecurity and is keen to contribute their skills and experience to work on a global scale.

As part of a team of cybersecurity experts, you will deliver cybersecurity projects to our customers in the video games industry and media sectors. These projects require hands-on security experience, such as performing in-depth technical analysis of the latest video game cheats. Furthermore, research and analysis into the latest security threats to our video gaming industry and media customers. You are able to investigate these threats, analyze them individually, and able to translate these threats to our customers.

Your mission at Irdeto:
  • Perform hands-on technical investigations into various threats affecting our customer's Intellectual Property (e.g. videogames) and write detailed technical reports based on your findings.
  • Perform penetration testing on IT infrastructure and web applications (both in the media and video gaming space)
  • Provide evidence that can be used in court cases. Evidence is collected using a forensically sound process and your reports reflect that.
  • Review, analyze and, where needed, acquire and test various threats affecting our customer's Intellectual Property and Security published online in public and private forums.
  • Support delivery of deliverables according to agreed upon Statement of Works.
  • Participate and present in customer meetings (1-3) over video conference.
  • Work on other duties as assigned.

How you can add value to the team?
  • Minimum of 2 years' experience in a cybersecurity role such as a consultant or experience as an IT administrator, network engineer, or developer with an affinity for cybersecurity.
  • Experience with scoping and performing pentests on infrastructure & webapps
  • Good understanding of the videogaming space (it helps if you like games)
  • Deep understanding of networking, Wireshark holds no secrets for you.
  • Basic knowledge of scripting
  • Basic knowledge of OSINT (specifically tools to support the process).
  • Pragmatic in both your work as in your solutions for our customers.
  • Good understanding of both Windows as Linux (e.g. able to install your own test system, VM's, troubleshoot errors with videogame cheats).
  • Excellent verbal and written English communication.
  • While we value a degree, for this role your skillset and experience will be the decisive factor.
