Jobs in New York City

​Principal Penetration Tester

In the cyber security world, a penetration tester - also called ethical hacker or pentester - will help companies identify and resolve cyber weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Penetration testers can be in-house roles, or work within a firm that provides penetration services to clients.

Penetration testers will run what is called a pen test: a simulated cyber attack on a firm's computer system, which will expose what are the main vulnerabilities. The goal will be to understand a firm's cyber weaknesses, and ultimately to reinforce and augment a web application firewall (WAF).

Getting around

Put a New York City map in front of you, and you will see how easy it is to get around town. Most of Manhattan's neighbourhoods are after all quite self-descriptive: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and so on.

Commuting to word can be as easy as putting on a pair of walking shoes: many New Yorkers walk to their destination. If walking isn't your forte, public transit is another great option - or hailing one of its famous yellow cabs. New York is known for its inexpensive and environmentally-friendly rail system, or "subway".
