- 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.

- 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.
