Job description
Threat Analyst
BTB's Rapid Advanced Detection And Response (RADAR) Service is seeking talented professionals to join our team of world class security experts!
The RADAR team is working with our clients and helping to identify threats, investigate security events, and respond to incidents. RADAR provides more to our clients than the typical run-of-the-mill security monitoring service and RADAR analysts bring more to the table than your typical SOC log review analysts.
RADAR leverages a "no-blind spots" approach to security monitoring that includes the collection of security events and data from a myriad of sources. While RADAR has outstanding built-in intelligence to analyze this data, we know that there is no substitute for the judgment and analysis capabilities that comes from human security expertise. This is where you, the RADAR Analyst, fits in our service offering.
RADAR Analysts utilize the information available through RADAR to perform technical investigations of potential threats to our clients' information assets, as well as provide expert technical guidance during incident response efforts.
During the investigation phases, RADAR Analysts will leverage technical information such as intrusion detection alerts, firewall events, system and application logs, full packet captures, and even endpoint process tracking to identify the root cause of the attack. The RADAR Analyst will then determine whether the attack was successful and provide notification to the client.
The RADAR Analyst plays an integral role during RADAR's incident response phase. When security incidents are identified the RADAR Analyst is responsible for interfacing with clients directly and providing expert guidance to help respond to the incident. This will include elements such as advising clients on specific defensive actions to take, identifying additional indicators of compromise, and depending on the RADAR Analyst's skill set, malware analysis and forensic examination.
If you are looking to work with world class professionals while making your mark on the security consulting space, you will want to know more about RADAR and the BTB team. See our skills inventory below, and if you think you have what it takes, please contact us.
