Cyber Security Analyst Permanent

Cyber Security Analyst

The team is growing at a rapid rate and we are looking to add some more awesome team players!

The candidate will be working with the MDR (Managed Detection and Response) team to respond to and investigate malicious activity, triage incidents and assist customers with responding to security incidents.

We will consider candidates with no security experience but would like to find someone who is passionate about cyber security – working on the “Blue Team”.
Any cyber security experience would be an advantage, but the likely candidate will have the following background and experience (in the absence of security experience).

ᴥ Systems Engineer with some networking experience
ᴥ This role requires communication with clients so will require great written (email) communication skills, often some experience in desktop support aids this.

The successful candidate will meet most of these criteria:
∞ Have a passion for cyber security
∞ Have troubleshooting skills and experience, both on network and application levels
∞ Be attentive to details
∞ Have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, particularly via email
∞ Willingness to work in a team environment to improve efficiencies and solve problems as a team
∞ Have a broad understanding of IT systems in general. Any specialisations will be beneficial but a shallow but broad understanding is imperative

What you will be doing, to mention a few:
→ Investigate incidents to determine if they are false positives or if they require in depth investigation.
→ Investigate cases to closure. Where required escalate or liaise with team members to assist in determining outcome. Communication to clients is key to ensure that cases can be closed with success.
→ Work with detection team to devise new methods of detecting malicious activity.
→ Work with detection and infrastructure teams to optimise response workflow through automation, orchestration or using other innovative methods.

In terms of qualifications, any general IT qualifications will be of benefit. Any security certification or vendor specific certifications, particularly for cyber security products will also be beneficial.
