About the job you’re considering
Capgemini’s Global Cybersecurity Practice is home to over 4,000 professionals delivering secure, innovative solutions across IT and OT environments – from networks to cloud services and everything in between. Capgemini’s Technical Assurance Services (CTAS) team in the UK is a dynamic part of our Global Cybersecurity Practice. As a penetration tester in our CTAS team you’ll play a vital role in helping our clients detect, understand and manage their security risks. You’ll be responsible for undertaking rigorous tests that identify vulnerabilities which are present in the IT infrastructure, applications and networks on which our client’s businesses rely. You’ll employ both manual and automated techniques to simulate real world attacks which help our clients assess their security posture against any potential threats to their business. You’ll also be expected to keep your knowledge of the ever‑evolving threat landscape up‑to‑date and adhere to ethical guidelines, especially when handling sensitive data. As well as having proven technical skills, you’ll also need to demonstrate the strong communication skills needed to describe complex findings to a range of different, often non‑technical, stakeholders.
