Summary

The Security Analyst (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) as part of the Incident Response team within the SOC, works to resolve reports of malware, phishing, data leaks all other identified security issues.

With your technical expertise of querying data with multiple tools you will identify the root cause of cyber security issues then coordinate across IT teams to resolve them. In collaboration with the Fraud and Investigation team you will also assist with joint cyber/insider threat investigations.

Incidents assigned to you will be taken from initial report to resolution, delegating responsibilities to other IT teams where necessary and coordinating all actions with stakeholders, including management.

You’ll also be providing feedback on security detections to the SOC team, assist with tuning alerts and assist with designing new detections. When time permits you will also support threat hunting efforts and detect undiscovered malicious behaviors.
