Senior Penetration Tester

Founded in late 2020 as a spin-off of the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, we strive to transfer research excellence to real-world products that support businesses and their surrounding ecosystem in understanding their vulnerability to attacks. Our mission is to provide actionable insights to secure your IT infrastructure and protect our customer's businesses against attacks.

By combining OSINT and human ingenuity, our platform continuously monitors companies' external assets, proactively securing their external attack surface. We collect and consolidate the publicly available information as observed from an attacker's perspective, prioritize them, and deliver actionable insights to reduce our customer's external attack surface. We are a young company created by a group of security specialists and are actively searching for and welcoming applications from motivated new team members.
