Network Security

Experience: 7–10 years Location: Bangalore Employment Type: Full-time Role Summary We are looking for a senior offensive security professional with strong expertise in red team operations, adversary emulation, black-box network penetration testing, cloud penetration testing, phishing simulations, C2 operations, and custom exploit development . The role requires hands-on capability to simulate real-world attacker behavior, develop attack paths, bypass security controls in authorized environments, and deliver high-quality technical findings with practical remediation guidance. Key Responsibilities

• Lead red team, adversary emulation, black-box network, cloud, and infrastructure penetration testing engagements.
• Plan and execute attack scenarios covering reconnaissance, initial access, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and objective-based actions.
• Use adversary emulation platforms and C2 frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Mythic, Havoc, Metasploit, and similar tools in authorized assessments.
• Design and execute phishing simulation campaigns, payload delivery scenarios, and initial access simulations.
• Perform custom exploit development, exploit modification, payload customization, and proof-of-concept development for identified vulnerabilities.
• Conduct Active Directory and hybrid identity attack simulations, including credential attacks, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and domain compromise scenarios.
• Perform cloud penetration testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP , focusing on IAM abuse, exposed assets, storage misconfigurations, insecure networking, excessive permissions, and privilege escalation paths.
• Assess endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and email security controls from an attacker’s perspective.
• Support purple team and detection validation exercises by mapping techniques to
