The Cyber Detection and Response Analyst supports day-to-day detection, investigation, and response activities as part of a Cyber Detection and Response Team (DART). This is a hands-on technical role focused on identifying, analyzing, and responding to cyber threats across the client’s environment, working closely with Security Engineering and broader security stakeholders.
This role will be a part of a global 24/7 team and will cover one of two shifts: Sunday-Thursday 08:00-16:00 or Tuesday-Saturday 08:00-16:00. This role will likely commence employment in October 2026.
Responsibilities:
- Monitor, triage, and investigate security alerts and events across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity systems.
- Support incident response activities including analysis, containment, remediation, and documentation.
- Execute established incident response playbooks and contribute to their continuous improvement.
- Perform threat hunting activities to identify potential compromises and gaps in detection coverage.
- Leverage threat intelligence to inform investigations and detection tuning.
- Collaborate with Security Engineering to tune detection logic and improve security controls.
- Produce clear, concise incident reports and support root cause analysis and remediation efforts.
- Support on-call rotations and escalation processes as part of a 24/7 detection and response capability.
- 3–5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on incident response, SOC operations, or cyber defense.
- Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR/XDR, and log analysis tools (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike).
- Practical understanding of incident response methodologies and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and NIST.
- Familiarity with threat hunting, malware analysis, or forensic investigation techniques.
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern enterprise architectures is preferred.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate technical findings clearly.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent) are a plus.
- Candidates will need to be be based in Australia and hold permanent work rights.
