Cyber Defense Forensics Analyst

Cyber Defense Forensics Analyst

The Opportunity:

As a security operations center analyst, you’re in the middle of the action, responding to and mitigating threats in real time. You’re the first line of cyber defense for your organization, and they look to you for guidance on best practices and security measures. We need a SOC analyst like you to help us secure critical infrastructure from the constant onslaught of cyber-attacks.

As an analyst on our team, you’ll develop network defense skills as you learn to monitor, detect, and analyze threats by interacting directly with affected users and leveraging state-of-the-art technologies.

When an incident is detected, you’ll work with the team to collect data to help incident response understand and mitigate the threat. You’ll analyze alerts to figure out just how many systems are affected and initiate recovery efforts. You’ll contribute to assessments and learn how to analyze patterns to understand attackers’ goals to stop them from succeeding. This is a great opportunity to hone your cybersecurity skills and learn more about threat assessment and incident response.

Work with us as we secure against malicious actors.
