  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and secure configuration assessments
  • Understanding of encryption, malware analysis, pivoting, or exploit development is a plus
  • Certifications such as OSCP, OSCE, GXPN, PNPT, GWAPT, or GMOB are highly valued

Soft Skills That Set You Apart
