The role
The Adversary Emulation (AE) team is G-Research’s internal Red Team and a core part of the wider Security Assurance function. The team provides the Board and Executive Management Team with independent insight into the security of our most important information, directly informing security decisions at the highest levels of the business.
AE operations range from a few weeks to more than a full year, with each engagement designed to emulate different internal and external threat actors and test a broad range of systems, processes and assumptions. The variety and complexity of this work creates continuous opportunities to learn, solve challenging problems and develop both technical expertise and strong team work.
