Your responsibilities

CERN runs a plethora of on-site and cloud-based IT services including MS Azure and Google Workspace cloud services as well as local control systems. Based on standard IT technologies but also on in-house developments, these IT services require a permanent adaptation of their security stance commensurate with CERN's risk appetite. The CERN Computer Security Team is mandated to protect the operations and reputation of the Organization, including those IT services, against any kind of cyber-threat.

As a successful candidate you will take an active role in reviewing and improving the security of those IT services:

• Reviewing autonomously or inside a team newly developed or purchased IT services as well as those subject to essential changes with regards to security principles (like the CISv8 standard);
• Providing consultancy and suggestions on furtherly improving the security posture of said IT services;
• Maintaining a CERN-wide review plan and register for "security" as well as CERN's risk-register linked to "security"-related risks.

Furthermore, we offer you the possibility to delve into pure security operations, running separately your own security project(s), and contributing to incident handling in the CERN CSIRT.

Your profile

Skills and/or knowledge

• Excellent knowledge of best practices in the field of "computer security", of secure software development and integration of IT security (features);

• Good knowledge of the Linux/UNIX operating system, network design, communication technologies and protocols, virtualization, databases, and in particular of shell scripting and programming (Python, and/or C). Other languages or technologies would be a plus;
• Experience in securing either or both MS Azure and Google Workspace cloud services;
• Proven expertise in automatic and manual vulnerability scanning and penetration testing (using tools like Nessus, Burpsuite, Metasploit), red/blue teaming, or similar.

Eligibility criteria:

• You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
• You have a professional background in IT (or a related field) and have either:
  • a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
