Stay safe on Himalayas

Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

Packetlabs was built by an ethical hacker after seeing vulnerability assessments presented as penetration tests. Our slogan, "Ready for more than a VA scan?" emphasizes the importance of not providing our clients with a false sense of security.

We are a passionate team of highly trained, proactive, ethical hackers. We provide expert-level penetration testing services that are thorough and tailored to help foster a safe digital space where everyone has the right to privacy and security. Packetlabs consultants find weaknesses others overlook and continuously learn new ways to evade controls. We hold ourselves to a very high standard.

To do so, we only hire individuals with the same drive and passion.

We are looking for a skilled OT Security Consultant to join our team. This role will be focused on assessing client Operational Technology (OT) environments across all industries.

Who we are looking for

  • Core values:
    • Customer-first mentality. Is a great communicator with clients, project managers, and teammates. Rapid responses and on time.
    • You deliver work that you take pride in. Your work is an autograph of your excellence.
    • Digs deeper into every finding. Doesn't stop until impact is proven (to an extent when it comes to OT)
    • Is comfortable being uncomfortable. Goes towards obstacles, not away from them. Consulting isn't your typical job and requires adapting to rapidly changing environments.
    • Is always learning. Cybersecurity is changing every day, and you need to keep up or want to keep up.Be deeply aware of your skillset and be willing to improve.
    • Self-motivated and dependable.
    • Is humble. Egos don't have a place at Packetlabs.
  • Education and experience:
    • A graduate of Information Security or Computer Science degree program.
    • Has professional qualifications such as GICSP, CSSA, CISSP, OSCP, GRID, GCIP, CACE

What you’ll be doing

  • Conduct Security Architecture Reviews (SARs) where you will:
    • Perform a holistic tabletop where a non-technical and technical risk review of an operational technology (OT) environment is performed without engaging in high-risk manual or automated activity.
    • Analyze for potential areas of negative impact, high risks, or single point of failure (SPOF) within sensitive, legacy networks
    • Support OT clients with security program improvements to identify which important controls are needed while refining the testing scope as the engagement proceeds
  • Identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in Operational Technology environments, including Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and field devices.

Why us?

  • Immediate and continual offensive security training
  • Wealthsimple GRSP with corporate matching
  • Participation in corporate benefit plans
  • Amazing team and working environment
  • Competitive compensation and growth opportunity

View company profile

We are Packetlabs, a Canadian-based cybersecurity firm dedicated to setting a new standard for penetration testing. Founded in 2011, we recognized that traditional automated scanning was leaving organizations vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. That's why we committed ourselves to a methodology that is 95% manual, going far beyond the simple checklists and automated tools that many competitors rely on. We believe that to truly secure an environment, you must think and act like a real-world adversary, which is why our team of ethical hackers meticulously probes your systems to uncover the complex, chained vulnerabilities that scanners miss.

Our mission is to provide 'penetration testing beyond the checkbox.' We don't just hand you a report; we partner with your team to ensure you understand the risks and how to fix them. We are proud to be SOC 2 Type II accredited and CREST certified, a testament to our rigorous standards and commitment to excellence. From our headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario, we serve clients across North America in industries ranging from healthcare and finance to government and technology. We are passionate about what we do, maintaining a zero-ego culture where collaboration and continuous learning are at the core of our success.
