About the Role
In this specialist technical role, you will be responsible for analyzing raw discovery data across our internet-facing infrastructure to build a validated, risk-actionable External Exposure Baseline. You will bridge technical discovery with risk governance—consolidating complex datasets, establishing asset ownership, prioritizing vulnerabilities, and embedding findings into our ongoing Exposure Management function.
Responsibilities
- Analyze large-scale external exposure datasets (IP addresses, domains, subdomains, VPN assets, cloud services, and edge infrastructure) to establish an authoritative external attack surface baseline.
- Consolidate, normalize, and de-duplicate asset discovery data from multiple internal and external discovery engines into a single source of truth.
- Reconcile discovered external assets against internal registers to identify ownership gaps, rogue non-production environments, and unmanaged services.
- Collaborate across application, infrastructure, and business teams to validate technical relationships, business criticality, and operational status.
- Evaluate findings to identify systemic control gaps, orphaned assets, and security risks—prioritizing remediation based on threat posture, business impact, and effort.
- Define clear treatment recommendations, including remediation actions, ownership assignment, risk acceptance, or asset decommissioning.
- Maintain audit-ready records of findings, decision rationale, ownership records, and evidence to support handover to ongoing operational teams.
- Deliver clear reporting and insights on exposure trends, remediation progress, and systemic control issues for senior cybersecurity leadership.
Requirements
- Proven track record as a Security Analyst focusing on External Attack Surface Management (EASM), threat exposure, or vulnerability risk analysis.
- Strong capability to consolidate, query, and de-duplicate large, complex technical datasets from multiple security scanning platforms.
- Deep understanding of enterprise inventory management, asset discovery lifecycle, and threat modeling frameworks.
- Technical knowledge of IP routing, DNS, domain management, SSL/TLS, VPN architectures, and public cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure).
- Excellent communication skills to coordinate with technical owners, drive asset attribution, and negotiate remediation actions.
- Applicants will need valid Australian work rights.
- May be required to undergo relevant background, probity and police checks.
