Manila, National Capital Region, Philippines Willis Towers Watson Full time

The role of a Cybersecurity Specialist at Willis Towers Watson involves assessing the security of web applications and their underlying infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments of web applications and infrastructure to identify security vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, authentication flaws, insecure configurations, poor host device and service configurations, and use these to penetrate deeper into the application/server.

  • Perform controlled attacks on web applications, APIs, infrastructure, and simulate real-world hacking attempts to identify potential entry points for attackers. This involves utilizing various techniques, tools, and methodologies to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access.

  • Analyze the results of penetration tests to assess the severity of identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact on the system and the business, and the likelihood of exploitation.

  • Prepare detailed reports that document the findings, including identified vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and recommendations for remediation. These reports typically outline the risks associated with each vulnerability and provide guidance on how to mitigate them.

  • Collaborate with developers and system administrators to assist in the remediation of identified vulnerabilities. This may involve providing guidance on secure coding practices, recommending security controls, or validating the effectiveness of implemented fixes.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest web application and infrastructure vulnerabilities, attack techniques, security tools, and industry best practices. This includes staying informed about emerging threats and trends in web applications and infrastructure.

  • Conduct all testing and assessment activities within a legal and ethical framework, ensuring that the organization's systems and data are not compromised or harmed during the process.

  • Engage in professional development activities, such as attending conferences, participating in training programs, and obtaining relevant certifications, to enhance knowledge and skills in cybersecurity.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in a related field such as computer science, information security, or cybersecurity is commonly preferred, but not always mandatory. Relevant industry experience can compensate for formal education requirements.

A strong understanding of web technologies, programming languages (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python), and web application architecture is essential. Knowledge of networking fundamentals, operating systems, and databases is also beneficial.

This role requires in-depth knowledge of web application vulnerabilities, common attack techniques, and mitigation strategies. Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is crucial. Experience with manual testing techniques, automated vulnerability scanners, and exploit frameworks is necessary.

Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Ruby, or JavaScript) to write custom scripts and tools. Understanding SQL queries for database testing is also important.

Holds relevant industry certification/s or equivalent like CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker, OSCP – Offensive Security Certified Professional, GPEN – GIAC Penetration Tester, PNPT – Practical Network Penetration Tester, Burp Suite Certified Practitioner, eWAPT/eWAPTx – eLearning Web Application Penetration Tester.
