Whatever it takes

When an organization engages with us, we will strategize, improve and augment their defenses against any cyber-attack. To keep organizations ready and alert for all threat scenario’s we will regularly simulate attacks to build their resilience. We encrypt and safeguard access to mission critical data, we gather threat intelligence and monitor both IT and OT environments to detect attacks timely and then respond decisively. Not only to prevent or minimize the damage but also to help the organization evolve to a higher level of cyber resilience, accelerating digital transformation with trust and confidence.

When it matters most, they call us.

About the job

  • perform penetration tests and red teaming exercises;
  • analyze the movement of attackers in the Security Operations Center;
  • threat hunting – hunting for attackers in the networks of our customers;
  • join an incident response investigation and perform digital forensics on-site;
  • perform OT-assessments for critical infrastructure companies;
  • create IT/OT use-cases – combining your knowledge of IT- and OT-environments to create new methods to detect attackers in the critical environments of our customers.


About you

A hacker is someone who thinks outside the box. It’s someone who experiments with the limitations and wonders what’s beyond. It’s someone who, when told things work in a certain way, immediately asks what happens if you do something else. A hacker is someone who breaks the rules to see what happens out of curiosity.

This is you. “Hacker” is a mindset, you are a hacker.  You are interested in cybersecurity and understand  computer networking.

Thales offers

  • An opportunity to join a team that wants to become the best cybersecurity team;
  • A team that will grow rapidly in the coming years with lots of opportunities for you;
  • Exciting and challenging projects for the critical infrastructure sector and defence clients;
  • Room for and attention to personal development and personal initiative;
  • The opportunity to grow within the organization, for instance on a technical, managerial, commercial or international level;
  • An open and flexible work environment where a good work-life balance is considered important;
  • Excellent work conditions, with 40 holidays a year, among other benefits.
