About the position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Cybersecurity Analyst to join our cybersecurity team. The successful candidate will be supporting us with different security operations tasks including monitoring, analyzing, and responding to security threats, threat hunting, and vulnerability management. You will be expected to have practical implementation knowledge of various security, privacy, and business continuity and compliance frameworks. This position is hybrid, requiring you to work onsite at our San Jose HQ 3 days per week, with the flexibility to work remotely the remainder of your time. In this role, you will monitor and analyze security event logs from various sources such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and endpoint protection to identify potential security threats. You will conduct in-depth analysis of security incidents to determine root causes and recommend remediation steps. Additionally, you will develop and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies and procedures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or exfiltration. Regular vulnerability scans will be performed using tools such as Tenable and Rapid7 Insight VM to identify potential vulnerabilities in the organization's network infrastructure, and you will prioritize remediation efforts based on risk assessment and business impact. You will coordinate remediation efforts with IT teams to ensure timely patching of identified vulnerabilities. Conducting threat hunting activities using various tools including SIEM, EDR, and CASB will be part of your responsibilities to proactively identify potential threats that may have evaded traditional security controls. Monitoring network traffic, detecting anomalies, and responding to potential security threats using advanced security tools and technologies will be crucial. You will collaborate with the team to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a security breach or incident, and develop and maintain documentation on cybersecurity processes, procedures, and best practices.
