Great to see more organizations focusing on cybersecurity. I have a question, are you open to hiring overseas applicants? I think my skills could benefit your company ranks.

  @george_cybertech, we are open to hiring exceptional talent worldwide. Please remember that you will need to handle your visa or re-location arrangements. All documentation and processes will be handled as per company policies and US regulations.

Do candidates need experience working with any specific tools or software? Anything that's a must-have?
- cwdragonsrecruiter 2 years ago next
  @user987878, we do not have a strict list of must-have tools since researchers may have their preferences. Candidates should, however, be familiar with network analysis tools like Wireshark, a wide set of security penetration testing tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, and Cain & Abel, and should be comfortable with virtualization software such as VirtualBox or VMWare. Experience with IDS and IPS such as Bro, Snort, Suricata, and Sourcefire is a plus.
