About this role

Continuously learn through real-world cases, onboarding, and collaboration with the team
What you will need
Basic understanding of IT fundamentals (networks, operating systems, IT infrastructure...)
Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts such as alerts, logs, or incidents
Exposure to security operations (studies, internship, or relevant work)
Strong attention to detail and structured way of working
Motivation to learn and grow in a hands-on cybersecurity environment
Strong communication skills and ability to document clearly
Fluency in English (internal working language)
C2 Fluency in German or Dutch (required for client communication)

Work with top-tier professionals from national CERTs, intelligence agencies, and leading tech backgrounds
