The Cybersecurity Analyst position at Recology is a critical role that involves identifying and responding to potential security threats within the organization. Under general direction, the analyst will utilize advanced detection techniques and tools to proactively search for indicators of compromise (IOCs) throughout Recology's Enterprise environment. This hybrid role requires a strong understanding of security protocols and the ability to analyze security logs, network traffic, and other data sources to identify anomalies and potential security incidents. The analyst will be responsible for configuring and tuning security tools such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. In addition to threat detection, the Cybersecurity Analyst will evaluate and recommend new security tools and technologies to enhance threat detection capabilities. Collaboration with the Incident Response team is essential to contain, eradicate, and recover from security incidents. The analyst will document findings and provide detailed reports on incidents and investigations, while also staying informed about the latest threats, vulnerabilities, and attack methods. Analyzing threat intelligence feeds and data to create detection and response processes is a key responsibility, as is sharing relevant threat information with internal teams to enhance the overall security posture. The role also involves developing and refining threat hunting methodologies and playbooks, participating in post-incident reviews to assess and enhance security processes and controls, and setting up automated vulnerability scans. The Cybersecurity Analyst will work closely with various lines of business to mitigate vulnerabilities detected and develop technical methodologies that support functional security procedures. This position requires a solid working knowledge of cybersecurity principles and the ability to handle moderately complex issues, referring more complex problems to higher-level staff as necessary.
