Provide recommendations for technical oversight of activities aligned to command priorities. Perform internal and external pentest against systems to determine vulnerabilities and offer mitigation strategies. Perform phishing assessments. Perform vulnerability risk assessment. Participate in the testing phase of security controls assessments using specialized knowledge of network protocols, operating systems, architectures, equipment, services, and standards. Conduct comprehensive, black-box penetration testing of web applications to identify critical vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, XXE, deserialization attacks, RCE, etc. Utilize a bug bounty-style approach to independently enumerate and assess targets, simulating real-world attack scenarios. Analyze application architecture and source code (when available) to uncover deeper, logic-based or systemic vulnerabilities. Document and communicate findings with clear risk assessments, reproduction steps, and actionable remediation recommendations. Stay up to date with evolving web technologies, threat trends, and security tools to ensure cutting-edge testing practices.
