The Information Security Threat Analyst is responsible for proactively hunting for threats within client environments, developing and tuning SIEM use cases, and conducting in-depth investigations of security events. The role involves monitoring and operationalizing threat intelligence, engineering automation and SOAR playbooks to streamline detection and response and maintain comprehensive documentation of threat hunting activities. The analyst collaborates with internal teams to enhance security operations, participates in incident response, and continuously adapts to the evolving cyber threat landscape. Responsibilities + Analyze activity trends using a mix of tools and analytical methodologies to hunt for threats not otherwise detected by configured security alerts. + Conduct threat scenario analysis to develop new use cases with relevant attack vectors; develop attack scenarios to formulate hunting strategies to identify threats undetected by existing controls. + Perform in-depth investigation of events of interest identified during hunts or from security alerts as defined investigation and response procedures. + Monitor, triage, and operationalize threat intelligence from commercial, open-source, ISAC/ISAO, and government sources. + Correlate threat intelligence with internal telemetry to identify potential compromise and guide hunts and incident response. + Create and deliver regular threat hunting and threat intelligence reports including hypotheses, datasets, findings, false positives, and detection/response improvements. + Contribute to the tuning and development of SIEM use cases and other security control configurations to enhance threat detection capabilities. + Define and track Security Operations metrics. + Design, develop, and maintain automation and SOAR playbooks to streamline alert triage, enrichment, containment, and notification workflows. + Automate routine operational tasks (e.g., IOC curation, asset/context lookups, quarantine, user suspension) to reduce MTTD/MTTR. + Facilitate vulnerability management by correlating vuln data with exploits-in-the-wild; prioritize remediation based on risk and exposure. + Participate in IR exercises to validate processes and IR capabilities. + Other duties as assigned to fully meet the requirements of the position. ## Related Videos - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Enhancing Workload Security in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/356-enhancing-workload-security-in-kubernetes) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Full Spectrum File Uploads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/870-full-spectrum-file-uploads) ## Related Articles - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Dev Digest 191: Malware interviews, EU ❤️ Open Source and Skilled Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/645-dev-digest-191-malware-interviews-eu-open-source-and-skilled-agents) - [Walking Into The Era of Supply Chain Risks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/106-walking-into-the-era-of-supply-chain-risks) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
