Role Summary:

The External Attack Surface Management (EASM) Analyst plays a critical role in Unilever’s proactive cybersecurity strategy by continuously identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks associated with the organization’s internet-facing assets. As digital transformation accelerates and cloud adoption expands, the external attack surface becomes increasingly dynamic and complex. This role is designed to provide visibility into that evolving landscape and ensure that Unilever’s digital perimeter is secure, monitored, and well-managed.

The analyst will be responsible for leveraging a combination of commercial EASM platforms (such as Mandiant, Wiz, and Qualys) and open-source reconnaissance tools (like Shodan, FOFA, and Censys) to discover unknown or unmanaged assets, detect misconfigurations, and identify potential vulnerabilities. This includes domains, IP addresses, cloud services, APIs, and third-party integrations that may be exposed to the internet.

The EASM Analyst will work closely with Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability Management, and Incident Response teams to contextualize findings, prioritize risks, and support remediation efforts. They will also contribute to the development of automated discovery and alerting mechanisms, ensuring that new exposures are detected in near real-time.

In addition to technical responsibilities, the role requires strong communication and collaboration skills to engage with asset owners, IT teams, and business stakeholders across the organization. The analyst will help drive awareness of external risks, support secure asset lifecycle management, and contribute to the overall maturity of Unilever’s cyber defense capabilities.

Main Accountabilities

External Asset Discovery & Mapping:

• Use EASM tools (e.g., Mandiant, Wiz, Qualys) to identify and catalog Unilever’s external-facing assets.

• Perform continuous monitoring to detect changes in the external attack surface.

Reconnaissance & Threat Identification:

• Utilize OSINT and reconnaissance tools (e.g., Shodan, FOFA, Censys) to identify exposed services, misconfigurations, and potential vulnerabilities.

• Correlate findings with threat intelligence to assess risk and prioritize remediation.

Risk Assessment & Reporting:

• Collaborate with vulnerability management and security operations to triage and remediate high-risk exposures.

• Provide regular reports and dashboards on EASM findings, trends, and KPIs.

Collaboration & Process Improvement:

• Work with IT and cloud teams to validate asset ownership and ensure secure configurations.

• Contribute to the development of EASM processes, playbooks, and automation strategies.

Key Skills and Relevant Experience

Skills:

• Strong understanding of internet protocols, DNS, SSL/TLS, and cloud infrastructure.

• Proficiency with EASM and OSINT tools (e.g., Mandiant, Wiz, Qualys, Shodan, FOFA).

• Ability to analyze large datasets and identify patterns or anomalies.

• Excellent communication skills to convey technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.

• Familiarity with vulnerability management and threat intelligence workflows.

Experience:

• 3–5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 1–2 years in EASM, threat intelligence, or vulnerability management.

• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and their security configurations.

• Knowledge of security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, or CIS Controls.

• Relevant certifications (e.g., CEH, OSCP, Security+, GIAC GOSI) are a plus.
