As an Associate Engineer, you will be monitoring and detecting security incidents, responding to them, and implementing and maintaining security controls which help prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security risks.

This role would involve performing regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests to pinpoint and rectify security weaknesses. Using monitoring technologies for detecting and analyzing malicious activity and subsequently addressing security incidents, including malware infections, unauthorized access attempts, and data breaches.
