Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in cybersecurity focus on protecting organisations from cyber threats through advanced technologies and strategies. They work to identify vulnerabilities, develop secure systems, and provide proactive solutions to safeguard sensitive data.

Those in application security at PwC will be responsible for providing security services to development teams including code scanning, readiness testing, and penetration testing to enable application teams to build and deploy secure applications in Production.

Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality.

• Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.

• Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.

• Use critical thinking to break down complex concepts.
