We are EA

We entertain millions of people across the globe with the most amazing and immersive interactive software in the industry. But making games is hard work. That’s why we employ the most creative, passionate people in the industry.

The Challenge Ahead

From nation states to financially motivated cyber threats to disgruntled players, EA has a unique and ever-changing threat landscape. It is the job of the Threat Intelligence Unit to stay ahead of these adversaries, to understand their tactics and make sure their attacks are not successful against our networks.

This person will work closely with several key individuals and teams including IR Operations, IR Engineering, Red team and Video Game Studios to perform attack emulation and incident response duties in line with the latest adversarial TTPs.
