My client is one of the worlds leading IT security research companies. Their expertise is used by many of the world's leading companies, IT vendors, government agencies and the wider IT Security community. As part of their many services they provide Vulnerability Assessments, Web Application and Penetration Tests to global enterprise companies.
They are seeking due to commercial demand an application penetration tester (Hacker) to provide vunerability assessment for their customers. You role will be to penetrate into organizations, assess them and build a plan moving forward for their protection. You will be working in a team of 6 of the best security penetrators in Asia Pacific region and as you develop your skills you will be work to provide this information to the wider security community so becoming a subject matter expert.

1109752 2010-06-13 05:25:00 This sounds like (and I'm just speculating here) KPMG, as they provide services in this field as part of their Risk Advisory Services division. They have staff around the country who are contracted to conduct security audits for private and public sector organisations, one component of which is penetration testing - "hacking" into networks, applications, websites, and so on. somebody (208)

1109758 2010-06-14 06:24:00 I don't think it's that rare, I talked to a guy once who had a similar job, and I think one of Chilling_Silence's mates did something similar? Or knew someone? hueybot3000 (3646)
