About the position

The Mid-Level Cybersecurity Analyst position at INSPYR Solutions is a critical role focused on maintaining and enhancing the security posture of the organization. This position is hybrid, requiring three days onsite in Fort Worth, TX, and allows for two days of remote work. The role is structured as a 12+ month contract, with a competitive hourly rate ranging from $50.00 to $54.00. The ideal candidate will be responsible for supporting enterprise logging and analysis solutions, ensuring that all documentation is meticulously maintained, and analyzing log files for any suspicious activity. In this role, the analyst will be tasked with analyzing event data to identify suspicious patterns and assessing log sources to define alerting criteria. A significant part of the job involves developing log policies by creating rules, setting thresholds, and prioritizing alerts based on their impact and urgency. The analyst will collaborate with Incident Response (IR) Engineering to configure data ingestion and detection rules, as well as fine-tune detection mechanisms. Additionally, the analyst will work closely with the Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) to configure incident creation, enrich incident data, and assign incidents to the appropriate CIRT teams. Regular reviews of policies will be necessary to address any false positives or negatives, and the analyst must stay updated on the latest technology trends. This position is not an Incident Response role, but it requires a strong analytical mindset and the ability to work independently with minimal direction. The candidate should have a fascination with technology, particularly in the aviation sector, and possess a strong sense of ownership over their work. Data extraction and reporting are also key components of this role, ensuring that all findings are communicated effectively to stakeholders.
