Security Analyst

Analysts are expected to be self-starters. Alongside SOC duties, each analyst identifies opportunities, takes ownership of individual projects and sees them through to delivery.

Projects may span the full breadth of cyber security and are shaped by individual expertise and the needs of the team and our clients. Analysts have the autonomy to choose their focus, with the support required to deliver it.

Threat intelligence Analyse cyber security news and gather intelligence through observed activity and independent research.

Security engineering Work with our development team to improve heuristics and detections.

Threat hunting Proactively search client environments for threats using data collected by the platform.

Training Develop learning material and upskill the team on new techniques and tooling.

Research and development Prototype new tools, automations and approaches that improve how the SOC works.

Documentation Produce knowledge base articles, playbooks and SOPs for the team.

These areas are indicative rather than exhaustive. Proposals that add value to the team are welcomed.
