Job Description:

Position Summary:

The primary objectives for the Information Security team are to protect confidential and sensitive information and to maintain operational stability resulting from cyber-attacks. Offensive Security (Red Team) members contribute to these objectives by performing assessments that proactively identify security exposures within the Sun Life environment that go beyond the realm of traditional penetration testing. A successful senior red team operator, specializing in offensive security, must possess a diverse set of competencies to effectively simulate cyberattacks and identify vulnerabilities within an organization's systems. Firstly, a deep understanding of various attack vectors and techniques is essential, including knowledge of malware, social engineering, and exploit development. Additionally, proficiency in network and application penetration testing is crucial for identifying weaknesses in infrastructure and software. Strong analytical skills are necessary to assess risks and prioritize targets accurately. Effective communication skills are vital for conveying findings and recommendations to stakeholders. Finally, adaptability and creativity are indispensable traits for devising innovative attack strategies and staying ahead of evolving threats in the cybersecurity landscape.
