Threat Intelligence Analyst, Associate - Security Operations

The Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team within Blackstone Security Operations identifies, tracks, and assesses cyber threats relevant to Blackstone and its portfolio companies. The Associate Threat Intelligence Analyst conducts tactical, operational, and strategic analysis to inform defensive operations, risk decisions, and executive awareness. This is a team at the cutting edge of cyber defense: we are pioneering the use of AI and automation to outpace adversaries, we move quickly from idea to production, and we give analysts real ownership to shape how intelligence is practiced rather than slot into a routine. This is hands-on intelligence and engineering work: monitoring the evolving threat landscape, producing finished intelligence products and reports, extracting and enriching indicators of compromise (IOCs), and helping manage the firm’s external attack surface and exposure risk. The analyst leverages AI and automation tooling to collect, enrich, and operationalize intelligence at scale, and develops clear visual products such as diagrams to make threats understandable to both technical and non-technical audiences. The role works closely with detection engineering, incident response, and vulnerability management to turn intelligence into new detections and preventions, helping protect one of the world’s leading investment platforms where cybersecurity and global finance meet.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and analyze cyber threat activity targeting the financial sector, alternative asset management, and adjacent industries using open-source, commercial, and internal sources, correlating across them to identify patterns and provide early warning of emerging campaigns

• Produce finished intelligence products and reports including recurring threat reporting, advisories, campaign profiles, actor dossiers, executive briefings, and visual products such as diagrams, tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Map adversary behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and maintain threat actor profiles covering TTPs, intent, and relevance to Blackstone

• Extract, validate, enrich, and operationalize indicators of compromise (IOCs) to support detection engineering and incident response workflows

• Leverage AI and automation tooling to scale collection, enrichment, and operationalization of intelligence

• Partner with Alert, Detection & Response and Incident Response teams to translate intelligence into production detections (Splunk SPL, Sigma, YARA)

• Track zero-day and critical vulnerabilities, assess Blackstone’s exposure, and translate findings into new detections and preventions in coordination with detection and security engineering

• Support threat-informed vulnerability prioritization (CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV) and coordinate remediation tracking with asset owners

• Operate and evolve the firm’s external Attack Surface Management (ASM) program, discovering and inventorying internet-facing assets across Blackstone and its portfolio companies, triaging newly discovered exposures and misconfigurations, and coordinating remediation

• Support Fusion Center digital-threat monitoring, including brand, executive, and reputational exposure across OSINT, social media, and dark web sources

• Contribute to intelligence sharing with trusted industry partners, ISACs (such as FS-ISAC), government partners (such as JCDC), and peer financial institutions

• Participate in incident response and the SOC on-call rotation (occasional, roughly every other month) to respond to escalated security incidents, * Attending client meetings where you are discussing Blackstone products and/or and client questions;
• Marketing Blackstone funds to new or existing clients;
• Supervising or training securities licensed employees;
• Structuring or creating Blackstone funds/products; and
• Advising on marketing plans prepared by a sales team or developing and/or contributing information for marketing materials.
