This is a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on security alert investigation, incident response, threat analysis, and proactive threat hunting.

  • Analyse security events using endpoint telemetry, SIEM logs, threat intelligence, and security monitoring tools.

  • Perform incident investigation and root cause analysis to determine the impact and scope of security incidents.

  • Execute containment and remediation activities in line with established incident response procedures.

  • Conduct threat analysis and support threat hunting and proactive security investigations.

  • Work with tools such as CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, and SIEM platforms to identify and investigate suspicious activities.

  • Escalate complex or high-impact incidents to senior analysts and specialised response teams when required.

  • Document incident findings, actions taken, lessons learned, and recommendations.

  • Collaborate with global SOC, IT, and cybersecurity teams to improve the organisation's overall security posture.

  • Support the development, testing, and continuous improvement of incident response playbooks and procedures.

  • Stay updated on emerging cyber threats, attack techniques, and security technologies.

  • Identify opportunities to improve security detection and incident response capabilities.

  • Participate in post-incident reviews and contribute to measures that help prevent future security incidents.

Key Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, or a related field.

  • 1–3 years of experience in SOC, Security Operations, Incident Response, IT Security, or a related cybersecurity role. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.

  • Hands-on experience investigating security alerts and incidents within an enterprise environment.

  • Good understanding of security monitoring, alert triage, and incident investigation methodologies.

  • Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.

  • Basic knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.

  • Good understanding of Windows, Active Directory, and networking fundamentals.

  • Experience with security tools such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SIEM platforms, or similar technologies.

  • Ability to analyse logs, endpoint telemetry, and security events to assess the impact and scope of incidents.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

  • Comfortable working independently as well as with international cybersecurity and IT teams.

  • CrowdStrike certifications such as CCFA, CCFR, or CCFH would be an advantage.
