You will be playing a key role in supporting some of the top organizations in the world, and have the opportunity to develop your skills by working with the best responders in the industry.

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Support incident handling processes across multiple platforms and security technologies including Windows, Linux and macOS
• Provide in depth analysis from escalated requests originating from Security Analyst 1

• Operate autonomously requiring minimal support on investigative actions 
• Support Analyst I and learn from Analyst III when you need helping hand
• Competency with in-depth header analysis, hashes and Windows/macOS/Linux logs
• Demonstrate the ability to pivot to other log sources, cloud systems or consoles to perform a comprehensive analysis from multiple data sources.
• Have a  basic understanding of modern EDR, email security and cloud identity platforms
• A desire to support others and uplift the program and team through updating training materials and SOPs
• Strong written and verbal communication skills including  the ability to write well-written reports and analysis that’s thorough, accurate and complete.
• Provide the customer with a complete understanding of the investigation
• Sec+, CySA, CEH, GSEC, or equivalent certification preferred
