## Description

Advertising/Posting Title Security Operations Analyst
Posting Summary
Conduct in-depth analyses of operational security data sourced from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS), and other telemetry sources to identify and mitigate threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information within the University of Vermont's digital environment. Act on these analyses to proactively detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents, aligning with the Information Security Office's mission to protect institutional data and assets.

Participate in UVM's Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CSIRT), contributing to real-time threat intelligence, forensic investigations, and response strategies. Work closely with ETS colleagues and partners to monitor and analyze data flow for anomalies, unauthorized access attempts, and potential exfiltration of sensitive data. Engage in continuous improvement of security monitoring and response mechanisms by refining alerting rules, tuning detection models, and leveraging automation where applicable.

Support the Identity and Account Management functions of Enterprise Technology Services by maintaining secure digital identities, enforcing access control policies, and addressing account-related security threats. Investigate and act upon policy violations, abuse complaints, and exceptions to automated identity management processes while upholding strict confidentiality and ensuring compliance with institutional security policies.

Exercise discretion and sound judgment in assessing security events. Maintain operational readiness by staying informed of emerging threats, contributing to proactive defense strategies, and continuously enhancing security response capabilities through ethical, repeatable, and defensible methodologies.

ETS consists of five core units: Client Services, Network Services, Information Security Office, Systems Architecture and Administration (SAA), and Database Administration/Enterprise Application Services. Within this structure, the Information Security Office (ISO) is responsible for daily activities to monitor, document and remediate incidents and risks to the University.
