- A clear path for growth into Senior Analyst and Consultant roles

What You’ll Do:
- Support cybersecurity risk assessments and help identify client vulnerabilities
- Assist in developing security policies, procedures, and response plans
- Help conduct vendor and third-party cybersecurity due diligence
- Support vulnerability assessments and security testing activities
- Assist with penetration testing coordination and analysis
- Help track projects and contribute to client deliverables
- Participate in cybersecurity awareness programs (e.g., phishing simulations)
