• persistence mechanisms
• Recommend improvements for:
• code signing
• EV certificates
• Windows SmartScreen reputation
• binary integrity

• Perform static and dynamic analysis of binaries when needed
• Communicate directly with antivirus vendors and security teams

Requirements

• Extensive working experience as a application security consultant or similar role
