Job Description
As a Cyber Defense and Resilience Consultant, you will play a key role in helping Deloitte's clients across the South-East Asia (SEA) market identity and remediate security vulnerabilities across their cloud environments. Your primary focus will be conducting cloud security assessments and security testing across major Hyperscalers, helping clients strengthen their cyber resilience as they scale their cloud footprint.
This role combines hands-on technical assessment, security testing, and client advisory, with a dedicated focus on cloud security.
Depending on your experience and interests, you will have opportunities across a broad range of cloud security domains including cloud configuration and posture assessments, cloud penetration testing, cloud identity and access security, and cloud-native security architecture review. The role includes the following requirements:
- Conduct cloud security assessments across hyperscalers including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, evaluating configurations against security baselines and benchmarks (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, cloud provider security frameworks, CSA CCM).
- Perform cloud-focused security testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of cloud infrastructure, cloud-native applications, APIs, and containerized workloads.
- Simulate cyber attacks against cloud environments to identify configuration weaknesses, privilege escalation paths, and exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Review cloud identity and access management (IAM) configurations, network security groups, encryption settings, and data protection controls.
- Assess cloud security posture management (CSPM) and workload protection controls, identifying gaps against client risk appetite and compliance requirements.
- Develop and execute testing methodologies tailored to cloud-native architectures, serverless services, and multi-cloud environments.
- Prepare detailed reports on assessment and testing findings, including risk ratings and remediation recommendations specific to cloud environments.
- Recommend and support implementation of improvements to cloud security posture, guardrails, and policies.
- Collaborate with client cloud engineering and DevOps teams to validate findings and support remediation efforts.
- Stay updated with the latest cloud security tools, testing techniques, and hyperscaler service and security feature updates.
- Support business development activities including proposals and client presentations alongside senior team members.
Your role as a leader:
At Deloitte, we believe in the importance of empowering our people to be leaders at all levels. We expect our people to embrace and live our purpose and shared values, challenging themselves every day to identify issues that are most important to our clients, our people and the communities, and to make an impact that matters. Additionally, Consultants across our Firm are expected to:
- Actively seek out developmental opportunities for growth, act as strong brand ambassadors for the firm as well as share their knowledge and experience with others.
- Understand the goals of our internal and external stakeholder to set personal priorities as well as align their teams’ work to achieve the objectives.
- Constantly challenge themselves, collaborate with others to deliver on tasks and take accountability for the results.
- Build productive relationships and communicate effectively in order to positively influence teams and other stakeholders.
- Project integrity and confidence while motivating others through team collaboration as well as recognising individual strengths, differences, and contributions.
Who we are looking for:
- Must have: Strong passion and interest in cloud security assessments, security testing, and helping clients build resilient cloud environments.
- 5-6+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with substantial hands-on experience in cloud security assessments and cloud penetration testing.
- Depth in cloud infrastructure exploitation, not just configuration review. A demonstrable track record of hands-on penetration testing and exploitation of Azure and AWS infrastructure. Able to chain misconfigurations into working attack paths and evidence real impact, rather than reporting findings from a scanner.
- Strong practical experience with identity attack paths across hybrid and cloud-native estates, including Active Directory and Entra ID, hybrid join and federation weaknesses, conditional access bypass, and abuse of service principals, managed identities and role assumption chains. Comfortable mapping cross-account and cross-tenant privilege escalation.
- Working knowledge of the network, encryption and detection layers: VNet and VPC segmentation, private endpoints, hybrid connectivity and perimeter controls, plus the logging and monitoring stack (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Azure Monitor, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel). Able to assess detection coverage and test evasion, and advise clients on what their telemetry would and would not have caught.
- Proficiency in security testing across at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP); experience across multiple hyperscalers is a strong plus.
- Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, common cloud misconfigurations, and cloud-specific attack vectors.
- Proficiency in using cloud security testing and posture management tools, alongside manual testing techniques.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, OSCP, CCSK, CCSP) are a plus.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to work under pressure and deliver to tight timelines.
- Ability to self-manage and prioritize a variety of concurrent assessment engagements.
- Location in Malaysia.
Due to volume of applications, we regret only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
