Cybersecurity Analyst - Detection & Response Team

Cybersecurity Analyst - Detection & Response Team

Are you passionate about cybersecurity and looking to build your expertise in a dynamic threat detection and response environment? We're seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a solid foundation in IT or security concepts (around 3 years of relevant experience or equivalent demonstrated aptitude) to join our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills and grow within a vital area of cybersecurity.

What You Will Do (Developing Your Capabilities):

Join our MDR team and gain hands-on experience protecting our clients. Your role will focus on providing crucial support to the team, which is responsible for actively mitigating identified threats, reducing potential damage to client environments, and implementing necessary changes to bolster defenses. You'll actively contribute to our detection and response efforts, working closely with and learning from experienced professionals. Through ongoing training and mentorship, you will develop your capabilities in:

Detection Engineering Support:

• Assisting in the maintenance and refinement of threat detection rules within our MDR platform.
• Learning to analyze detection performance to improve accuracy and reduce noise.
• Collaborating with senior engineers and threat intelligence teams to enhance detection strategies.
• Researching potential new threats and data sources under guidance.

Emerging Threat Response Contribution:

• Supporting the team's response to new cyber threats (like 'zero-day' vulnerabilities).
• Learning cross-team collaboration processes during security events.
• Assisting in determining appropriate MDR actions to safeguard customers against emerging threats.
• Contributing to the development of customer communications regarding threats and protective measures.

Threat Intelligence Integration:

• Helping collect and organize threat intelligence (IOCs, TTPs) identified by the MDR team.
• Understanding how this intelligence strengthens Nomios products and services.
• Assisting in integrating relevant threat research from various sources into MDR operations.
• Attention to details

What Foundational Experience & Potential We're Looking For:

• We value potential and a strong desire to learn. We are looking for candidates who bring:
• Relevant Foundation: Approximately 3 year of experience in IT operations, system administration, or an introductory security role (e.g., IT support with security duties, helpdesk, relevant internship), OR a strong demonstrable aptitude and passion for cybersecurity concepts.
• Cybersecurity Drive: A clear enthusiasm for the cybersecurity field and a strong desire to deepen your understanding of the threat landscape, attacker techniques (TTPs), and threat actors.
• Learning Agility: An aptitude for analysis and a keen interest in learning how security detections (SIEM, EDR, NDR) work and how to improve them. Direct experience is a plus, but curiosity is essential.
• Collaborative Spirit: Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team environment.
• Analytical Aptitude: An interest in working with data and learning to measure and report on security effectiveness.
• Proactive Learner: Willingness to quickly learn new concepts and tools, including frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
• Interest in MDR: Curiosity about Managed Detection and Response operations and their role in security.
• Incident Response: Provide support throughout all stages of the incident response life cycle: 1) Preparation, 2) Detection and Analysis, 3) Containment, Eradication and Recovery, and 4) Post-Event Activity

Why This Opportunity?

This position offers a unique pathway to build a career in cybersecurity operations. You'll be immersed in real-world threat detection and response, receiving dedicated mentorship and training to cultivate sought-after skills in detection engineering, incident handling, and threat intelligence analysis within a supportive and expert team. Attention to detail is key in this field; as a small sign of yours, please mention the word 'Vigilance' when submitting your application materials. If you have the foundational skills and the drive to develop, we encourage you to apply.
