Job description

The Cyber Defense Analyst is responsible for identifying, investigating, and responding to cybersecurity threats across the enterprise. This role requires hands-on experience in one or more cyber defense disciplines, including Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring, threat hunting, digital forensics, malware analysis, cyber threat intelligence, and incident response. The analyst will work within a fastpaced environment to detect malicious activity, contain incidents, and strengthen the organization's security posture.

The work:

  • Monitor, triage, and analyze security events within the SOC to identify potential threats.
  • Conduct proactive threat hunting activities to uncover hidden or emerging adversary behaviors.
  • Perform digital forensic examinations on hosts, networks, and digital media to determine root cause and scope of incidents.
  • Execute malware analysis to classify threats, understand adversary techniques, and support remediation efforts.
  • Produce, analyze, and disseminate cyber threat intelligence reports to stakeholders.
  • Lead or support incident response investigations, including detection, containment, eradication, and recovery.
  • Document findings, write detailed reports, and communicate technical insights to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional cyber teams to improve detection capabilities, playbooks, and overall defense strategies.

Here's what you need:

  • 1+ years of experience supporting Cyber and/or IT 
  • Experience in at least one of the following disciplines:
    SOC operations, Threat Hunting, Digital Forensics, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Malware Analysis, DFIR, or Threat Hunt investigations.
  • Familiarity with security tools such as SIEMs, EDR platforms, forensic toolkits, and threat intelligence platforms.
  • Strong analytical mindset and ability to correlate data from multiple sources.

Bonus points if you have:

  • Industry certifications (e.g., GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, GNFA, CTI-related certs)
  • Experience with adversary TTPs, MITRE ATT&CK, or advanced hunting techniques.
  • Knowledge of scripting or automation for cyber defense workflows.
