• Familiarity with common attack vectors, including phishing, malware, ransomware, and social engineering.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to work methodically under pressure.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
