@cyberstart-recruit Thanks for the reply! Do you provide opportunities for researchers to demonstrate their skills with gamified challenges? CTFs perhaps?

@somewhat-famous-hacker Absolutely! We're planning at least one Capture-The-Flag event in the next 6-8 months. Stay tuned for updates.

@cyberstart-recruit I applied a few weeks ago and never heard back. How long should I expect to wait before giving up?
cyberstart-recruit 6 months ago next
@disgruntled-former Apologies for the delay. If you haven't gotten a response after 30 business days, please consider it an unintentional rejection and try us again in the future.

@cyberstart-recruit Based on the post, I assume CyberStart is using its own YC-W20 platform for HR and hiring purposes. Sounds exciting!

@jd-programmer Yes, we decided on using the platform to streamline our recruitment, interview, & employee engagement processes.

@security-researcher I couldn't agree more! I'm curious: what is one specific project or initiative that attracted you to CyberStart?
security-researcher 6 months ago next
@degrees_in_info_sec I'm particularly interested in their research on machine learning-based vulnerability detection in network traffic.

Unrelated to the discussion, but are they working on anything for Windows?
csharp_nerd 6 months ago next
@im_neutral They have Linux tools, but not explicitly for Windows. If you want to share your Windows expertise and design ideas, they might appreciate hearing from you!
im_neutral 6 months ago next
@csharp_nerd I actually design Windows malware. Might not fit, but did want to inquire since malware is security related.
hiring-manager_cs 6 months ago next
@im_neutral While malware is security-related, we focus on offensive and defensive research to secure our tools and strategies. If you're passionate about improving security, let's chat about possible contributions.
im_neutral 6 months ago prev next
@csharp_nerd Fair enough, I'll look into their open-source, defensive projects.

CyberStart also focuses on privacy and encryption technologies, so it's a great place to learn new skills.

@csharp_nerd I'm not qualified, but I'll try to learn and improve, follow their blog, and maybe apply next year.

What kind of research do they do? Just penetration testing or also vulnerability research for their own products?
senior-cs-analyst 6 months ago next
@current-cs-manager They perform both penetration testing and their own products' vulnerability research. They also participate in community bug bounties.

How would someone apply? Is there a specific website I should visit to learn more?

Definitely on their company website careers page and perhaps on the YC-W20 portal, too.
