Cybersecurity Defense Analyst (AI Training) About The Role What if your cybersecurity knowledge could directly shape how AI understands, detects, and responds to the threats facing millions of organizations worldwide? We're looking for Cybersecurity Defense Analysts to evaluate, stress-test, and improve AI-generated security content — from threat analysis and incident response plans to vulnerability assessments and defensive architecture recommendations. Your real-world security instincts will help ensure AI systems give accurate, actionable, and protected cybersecurity guidance — not dangerous hallucinations.

This is a fully remote, adaptable contract role. No AI or machine learning background needed — just hands-on cybersecurity experience and a sharp, critical eye.
