•Log analysis and Windows hardening

•Responsible and ethical use of offensive security concepts where relevant

•Microsoft 365 or security-focused certifications

Additional security certifications such as Security+, CySA+, OSCP, PNPT, CRTO, CRTP, GCFA or GCFE would be useful, but are not the main priority.

Ideal profile

The ideal candidate will be a confident Microsoft and cloud instructor who can bring technical content to life through practical examples, hands-on labs and clear teaching.
