Job Summary In this role, you will primarily focus on asset attribution, the process of attributing ownership of internet-facing assets to an organization. You will be responsible for identifying and assessing an organization’s “attack surface” by using various research techniques to investigate the registration information of domains, certificates, and IP networks. By analyzing a company's unique profile, you will narrow a broad scope of probable assets to those definitively linked to the organization. This is an ideal role for individuals with an analytical mind and an interest in cybersecurity, even without a prior background in the field.
