You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like penetration testing, intrusion detection systems, security architecture, zero trust frameworks, ransomware mitigation, secure coding practices, and risk management—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning. A bachelor’s or master’s in cybersecurity, computer science, information assurance, or a closely related field is ideal; industry certifications such as CISSP, CEH, OSCP, or hands‑on experience in SOC environments, red team/blue team operations, or cyber policy development signal fit.
