Our team partners closely with Cybersecurity Incident Response, Physical Security Operations, Cyber Risk Management, and various other partners to detect and mitigate potential threats to the business across our digital and physical environments. As cyber and physical threats continue to converge, our fused intelligence program drives cohesion, a proactive approach, and strengthens information-sharing practices across the Enterprise Security department.
As a Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Analyst, you will collect, analyze, and interpret threat data, build strategic intelligence products based on documented trends, employ frameworks such as NIST CSF, and inform security protocols based on actionable intelligence. You will have the opportunity to support and further develop insider risk projects and insider threat investigations. You will work with a range of stakeholders across Enterprise Security to deliver intelligence-led insights for incident response, threat hunting, and cyber defense activities. You will also play a key role in improving intelligence processes, reporting, and automation capabilities while building strong relationships across the organization and with external partners.

• Develop and maintain intelligence metrics, dashboards, investigative records, and KPIs to ensure that team activities are measurable and aligned to business objectives
• Utilize intelligence tools and platforms such as Dataminr, Recorded Future, ZeroFox, and other OSINT capabilities to support routine monitoring, investigations, and analysis
• Facilitate and develop new data connections for Power BI dashboards (database development) used for insider risk detection and tracking. Perform regular updates to API connections and dashboards as the Insider Risk and Threat programs evolve
• Collaborate closely with other team members and Cybersecurity verticals to conduct investigations, validate findings, support incident response efforts, and enhance information sharing across the physical and cyber disciplines
• Participate periodically in procedural audits, analytic reviews, lessons-learned sessions, or after-action reports
