As a Senior Technical Research Auditor for Cortex Research, you will be honing and communicating high-quality, groundbreaking cybersecurity and threat intelligence research for our company XDR & XSIAM Cortex Research Department. This is a highly technical role, and a strong research/technical background is a key qualification. Your goal is to work closely with Cortex researchers and the Unit 42 publishing team to ensure our research is clearly communicated in well-produced research articles and other written, recorded and visual materials. You will also engage in communication with external vendors and industry partners. Constant collaboration with various research groups, Corporate Communications, Legal, and Content Marketing teams is essential to help raise the profile of our research and improve our brand visibility.
Your Impact
Work with researchers to ensure high-quality, accurate, well-written pieces that are ready for publication through our Threat Research Center, social media and other properties.
Assist researchers with understanding how to translate complex technical research into clear storytelling that resonates with media and other non-technical audiences.
Review and fact-check the data and claims in our threat research publications.
Weigh in on technical research topics, such as: threat intelligence, malware analysis, reverse engineering, threat hunting, threat actor attribution, cloud and identity related attacks, endpoint security, and more.
Make necessary corrections and/or coordinate with other teams to identify who can resolve outstanding issues in a piece.
Maintain awareness of when additional notification and coordination is necessary in order to responsibly disclose our findings, including vulnerabilities.
Work with the publishing team in our ongoing effort to improve our guidelines, processes and scheduling.

Were looking for a multi-skilled security researcher to research and develop innovative defense ideas from concept to production.
Youll work on diverse areas, from enhancing attacker detection models and identifying customer security risks to researching emerging trends like AI agents and MCP, and understanding their profound impact on the security landscape, among many other exciting challenges.

If youre eager to stay ahead of technology, tackle challenges, create and develop new ideas, and shape the future of our product, this role is for you.

Were seeking a Security Researcher to expand our products micro‑segmentation capabilities, advance our research function, and lead threat modeling and detection efforts against modern attack techniques across enterprise, hybrid, and cloud environments. Youll research and simulate real‑world threats, design defenses, help adapt our technology to diverse architectures, and contribute to our open‑source security tools and public research presence.
Responsibilities:
Lead research into modern security threats, with emphasis on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and post‑compromise techniques across on‑prem, hybrid, and cloud environments.
Analyze and model enterprise infrastructure, networking, and identity systems to identify attack surfaces and opportunities for segmentation.
Work closely with product and engineering teams to design and validate new security controls, detection logic, and segmentation strategies.
Research and exploit misconfigurations or weaknesses in identity systems, networking, authentication protocols, and platform services.
Build proof‑of‑concept attacks and detection techniques that inform both our commercial product and our open‑source projects.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of open‑source security tools, threat simulations, and internal research frameworks.
Produce high‑quality technical blog posts, research papers, talks, and online content to share findings and strengthen our presence in the security community.

Are you passionate about advancing automation in identity security? Do you thrive at the intersection of research, innovation, and large-scale impact? As a Senior Security Researcher, you will drive the design of autonomous response strategies to counter identity-based threats, misconfigurations, and abuse scenarios. Your research will directly shape the Cortex platforms ability to remediate identity-driven attacks, ensuring effective, safe, and scalable automation for our customers. You will collaborate with world-class researchers and engineers to deliver on the vision of the Autonomous SOC.
Your Impact
Lead the design and implementation of robust, testable, and safe remediation playbooks for identity-related threats (e.g., privilege escalation, credential abuse, lateral movement, IAM misconfigurations).
Conduct deep research on adversary TTPs targeting identity systems and translate insights into automated detection and response mechanisms.
Drive innovation in identity security automation by applying data analysis, modeling, and programming to refine remediation strategies.
Serve as a subject-matter expert and mentor within the research group, elevating the teams overall expertise in identity security.
Stay ahead of evolving identity-based attack vectors, cloud-native identity risks, and advanced adversary tradecraft to ensure our automation keeps pace with threats.
