Job Title: Cybersecurity Incident Handler
Career Level From: Associate
Career Level To: Senior Associate
Organization: Cyber Operations (51130640)
Job Specialty: Cyber Security

What You'll Do

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cybersecurity Incident Handler with a specialized focus on Incident Coordination, Analysis, Threat Containment, and Response . In this critical role, you will be the cornerstone for actively monitoring, detecting, and responding to security events that threaten our enterprise. We are looking for a dedicated analyst with a solid foundational understanding of security operations, capable of analyzing escalated security events, conducting deep-dive investigations, and executing initial containment activities. You will play an instrumental role in defending our hybrid (on-premises and cloud) environments from a rapidly changing threat landscape.

Your core responsibilities will include:

Advanced Incident Handling & Response : Serve as the primary driver for investigating escalated security incidents. Conduct deep-dive root-cause analysis of complex security events to determine the path, scope, and impact of potential compromises.
Incident-Driven Splunk Querying & Correlation: Utilize Splunk as an investigative powerhouse during active incidents. Develop target-focused Splunk queries (SPL) and search parameters to correlate logs, map threat actor activities, and trace attack paths.
Hybrid Environment Incident Investigation: Investigate security events and anomalous behaviors across a complex, hybrid infrastructure, including on-premises Active Directory, system endpoints, and cloud-native environments (such as Microsoft Azure/M365 and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Network Artifact & Traffic Analysis: Apply a strong understanding of network security principles and core networking protocols (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP), Domain Name System (DNS), Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Secure (HTTP/S), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to analyze network packet captures, firewall logs, and security appliance detections during incident investigations.
Endpoint & Email Threat Remediation: Review endpoint telemetry from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions and analyze email security logs (such as email gateways) to contain and remediate active threats like malware, ransomware, and phishing campaigns.
Playbook Execution & Containment Actions: Execute established incident response playbooks to contain active threats, limit damage, and coordinate remediation efforts. Collaborate with senior systems engineers, network administrators, and infrastructure teams to ensure complete threat eradication.

Who You Are

An End-to-End Incident Handler: You don't just close isolated alerts; you have lived through the entire lifecycle of real-world attacks. You understand how threat actors think and operate, tracking them from the initial point of entry all the way through lateral movement to final eradication.
A Dedicated Incident Investigator : You excel at digging into logs, connecting disparate data points, and identifying the root cause of complex security incidents.
A Collaborative Security Partner: You’re a strong team contributor who enjoys collaborating with security engineering, systems administration, and desktop support teams to resolve active incidents.
A Proactive Problem Solver: You possess an exceptional ability to anticipate potential security challenges within systems and networks, actively identifying logging gaps and suggesting detection rule optimizations.
An Efficient Communicator: You can clearly document incident timelines and explain technical security events to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills and Expertise

Proven experience tracking and investigating security incidents through the entire attack lifecycle (e.g., Cyber Kill Chain, MITRE ATT&CK) from initial delivery and execution, through lateral movement, action on objectives, containment, and eradication.
Hands-on experience writing queries and analyzing data in Splunk (or other major enterprise SIEM platforms) to investigate incident-related data.
Demonstrated experience triaging, investigating, and containment-handling of escalated cybersecurity incidents.
Solid understanding of network security principles, including networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, SMTP), firewall concepts, and network traffic flow.
Familiarity with both Windows and Linux operating systems, including system event logs, registry structures, and basic command-line navigation.
Familiarity with common enterprise security tools, such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Email Security Gateways.
Ability to follow structured incident response playbooks and meticulously document investigation findings.

Minimum Job Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering/science/information technology discipline.
OR Master's degree in engineering/science/information technology discipline.
OR Applicants without a bachelor's degree may be considered based on a combination of at least 8 years of completed education and/or relevant experience.

Preferred Job Requirements

Proven, direct experience using Splunk (or other Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)) as a primary tool for querying, search optimization, and log analysis in a security operations capacity.
Relevant advanced industry certifications such as SysAdmin, Audit, Network, and Security (SANS) Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) (e.g., GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC), GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH), GIAC (Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA) or Splunk Certifications (e.g., Splunk Core Certified Power User, Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin).
Proven experience investigating threats in hybrid environments, with a strong operational understanding of cloud-native security controls (specifically Microsoft Azure/M365).
Hands-on experience with Cisco network security tools (e.g., Cisco Firewalls, Cisco Secure Email/IronPort) or other major network defense systems.
Hands-on experience protecting Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments, with familiarity using specialized OT security monitoring and visibility platforms such as Nozomi Networks .
Prior experience using the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map threat actor behaviors and guide investigations.
