Vacancy overview

#KPN_15592

You're someone who looks at things and immediately starts thinking from the perspective of an attacker. How would they exploit the weaknesses, both physical and digital? You enjoy CTFs, (code) puzzles, and spend your free time reverse engineering binaries or playing games like HackTheBox. In your role, you'll also collaborate with other parts of the business, for example, with awareness trainings, assisting CERT with security incidents, and assessing risks related to geopolitics. You'll participate in testing and security efforts at KPN and its interests.

Your role as Ethical Hacker

You are someone who looks at things and automatically starts thinking from the perspective of a malicious actor. How they would exploit its weaknesses, whether physical or digital. You enjoy CTFs, cipher puzzles and spend your spare time reverse engineering binaries or playing games like hackthebox.

You are responsible collectively for identifying risks and drawing up risk analyses.
You do this by studying and attacking systems, networks and applications.
By carrying out a genuine attack you highlight the risk for the other party and you give the necessary advice on that basis.

More about your position

This is your team

As an Ethical Hacker at KPN CISO, you'll be part of a small team of dedicated and autonomous individuals. As a member of this team, you won't be concerned with selling services and billable hours. We are a small team focused on making KPN safer. We strongly emphasize self-development because as a team, we believe this is the path to becoming more effective. If you think you'd fit well in a team of self-taught individuals who love learning and sharing knowledge, then get in touch with us. A (digital) test and screening are part of the procedure at KPN.

What will you bring us?

You are someone who looks at things and starts automatically to think from the perspective of a malicious actor.

How would they exploit the weak points, both physically and digitally?

You enjoy CTFs and coding puzzles and you spend your leisure time reverse engineering software or playing games like Hack the Box.

We accept people of diverse backgrounds, so don’t worry if your qualifications don’t seem directly related to the job. You will get an opportunity to show what you can do. If you have your OSCP and/or OSCE, so much the better. Knowledge of OWASP, NIST and CIS would be useful too. Skills in the field of mobile app security, cloud security, hacking of physical devices and wireless communication protocols would be great but are not a requirement (being willing to learn about these topics is, however, an implicit requirement).

To be able to do this well, you need to meet the following requirements:

Experience with Python, Linux systems and Windows systems / Powershell.
Appropriate knowledge of current attack methodologies and occurrences.
Development of tools for automating specific tasks.
Effective communication skills.
At least two years of experience as a pen tester.

Even if you don't meet all the requirements listed, we still encourage you to apply.
