Your role in action:

• Lead complex cybersecurity investigations across network, endpoint, email, cloud, identity, data security, and user behavior environments.

• Analyze network, firewall, authentication, endpoint, and other security telemetry; correlate evidence from multiple sources and reconstruct incident timelines to determine attack vectors, scope, impact, and root cause.

• Investigate email-based threats including phishing, business email compromise, malicious attachments, and account compromise.

• Investigate DLP alerts and potential data loss events and tune policies, rules, thresholds, and detection logic to improve effectiveness.

• Conduct insider threat investigations using DLP, UEBA, endpoint, identity, and other telemetry; develop and tune behavioral rules, indicators, and risk thresholds.

• Investigate suspicious activity within cloud and SaaS environments.

• Conduct proactive threat hunting and gather and analyze threat intelligence related to emerging threats and attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures.

• Perform digital forensic analysis in support of cybersecurity incidents and investigations.

• Develop and tune security detections, correlation rules, alerts, policies, and monitoring logic.

• Assist with the configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization of cybersecurity technologies and identify security control gaps.

• Document investigative findings, evidence, timelines, and remediation recommendations.

• Serve as a technical escalation point and actively mentor other analysts in investigations, incident response, threat hunting, log analysis, insider threat, and security technologies.

• Develop and share technical documentation, investigation techniques, and lessons learned to improve team capabilities.

Could this be you?

• 5+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, security operations, incident response, digital forensics, threat detection, insider threat, or related disciplines.

• Strong experience analyzing network, firewall, endpoint, authentication, and other security logs and correlating evidence across multiple data sources.

• Demonstrated experience investigating complex cybersecurity incidents and reconstructing incident timelines.

• Experience with email security, DLP investigations and tuning, cloud or SaaS security investigations, Insider Threat, and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA).

• Experience conducting threat hunting and gathering or analyzing threat intelligence.

• Working knowledge of digital forensic principles, techniques, and common forensic artifacts.

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity controls, defense-in-depth concepts, common attacker techniques, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.

• Experience with enterprise security technologies such as SIEM, EDR/XDR, firewalls, email security, DLP, UEBA, and cloud security platforms.

• Understanding of detection and rule engineering, including developing and tuning security rules, alerts, policies, and behavioral detections.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills with the ability to independently manage complex investigations.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor, coach, and provide technical guidance to other cybersecurity professionals.

• Experience with security tool administration, scripting/automation, or security engineering is beneficial; these capabilities may also be developed on the job.

• Experience performing static or dynamic analysis of suspicious files, scripts, documents, or executables is a strong plus.

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
