The Ethereum Foundation will establish a dedicated security team for ETH 2.0 to study any potential cybersecurity and cryptoeconomic issues in the next-generation Ethereum network.
Justin Drake, an ETH 2.0 researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, announced the start of the hiring process on his twitter.
The Ethereum Foundation is looking to hire various security and auditing professionals for the upcoming upgraded software and general model.
Fuzzing is a bug hunting technique that involves feeding junk data into software to trigger non-standard responses. Many bugs found on the web today are due to poor input environments, where special types of input may be interpreted as machine code or simply produce bad behavior. Fuzzing helps to find these critical points and update the code to prevent potentially catastrophic bugs.

The security team will also do more theoretical work on formal verification of encryption algorithms. This process will attempt to mathematically prove that a certain algorithm is secure. The Ethereum Foundation is also looking for experts in economic modeling.

With the final phase of preparations for ETH 2.0 Phase 0 underway, the focus is now on the security of the network.
Recently, the Ethereum Foundation launched a dedicated "attack network" to reward bounty hunters who break the network. By identifying issues before mainnet launch, developers hope to ensure a smooth transition.
This approach has proven successful, with several confirmed vulnerabilities patched. Following the success of this plan, a multi-client attack network has been launched today.
