Job description

"As a senior Information Security Engineer, you have over 5 years of experience in proactively and reactively monitoring and remedying security breaches :

  • Usually, you are part of the SOC (security operations center);

  • You investigate suspicious activities and take remediating actions;

  • You maintain Security Monitoring Tools to effectively secure and monitor the different systems;

  • You perform penetration tests to find any flaws;

  • You document, test and monitor any security breaches and assess their damage.", You will play a crucial role in our SOC (Security Operations Centre), the beating heart where security events are collected, analysed and translated into concrete actions.

Within the SOC, you'll work on the SIEM, where logs from various systems converge and where you'll make a difference by designing and continuously improving targeted detections (use cases).

Does translating threats into concrete detection rules and improving our visibility on Mac and Linux systems give you a buzz? Then this job is for you!

Your tasks will include:

  • Designing, building and maintaining detection use cases for macOS and Linux platforms

  • Analysing security logs (such as syslog, audit logs, EDR telemetry, etc.) and translating them into actionable detections

  • Improving and fine-tuning existing use cases to reduce false positives and increase detection quality

  • Collaborating with SOC analysts to align detections with real-world threats

  • Contributing to the expansion of logging and monitoring coverage on Mac and Linux
