It all starts with the mission: NVISO is here to protect European society from potentially devastating cyber attacks! This means we offer cyber security services to private and governmental organizations to help them better prepare for, prevent, detect and respond to cyber security incidents.

All of this is built on four fundamental values that define who we are: We are Proud, We Break Barriers, We Care and No BS! 

As a Junior Application Security Consultant, you will join a team focused on helping clients build and maintain secure applications by integrating security into their development lifecycle. You will work closely with experienced consultants and progressively take ownership of tasks as your skills grow.

Your role is strongly oriented towards the defensive side of application security, with a particular focus on threat modeling, secure design, and security maturity improvements.

Projects you will contribute to include:

• Supporting threat modeling activities by helping analyze architectures, data flows, assets, trust boundaries, and security assumptions together with senior consultants.
• Participating and also lead workshops with developers, product owners, and architects to identify and understand how an attacker would carry out malicious actions on one or more systems of any kind (IoT, OT, IT, etc.).
• Contributing to application and software architecture security reviews.
• Supporting maturity assessments (e.g. OWASP SAMM, DSOMM, CyFun) and helping clients understand their current maturity and improvement priorities.
• Assisting in the preparation of technical security tests and penetration tests based on the identified threats, including helping define test scopes, relevant attack paths, and security assumptions to be validated.
• Supporting senior consultants during technical testing activities by mapping test results back to identified threats and risk scenarios.
• Helping prepare and deliver security awareness or secure coding sessions with other experts.

You will always be supported by senior team members and progressively gain autonomy as your understanding of application security, threat modeling, and consulting grows.
