đź“‹ Description
- • Join Blackpoint Cyber, a rapidly expanding leader in cybersecurity, renowned for its world-class threat hunting, detection, and remediation technology. Founded by former National Security Agency (NSA) cyber operations experts, we bring national security-grade solutions to commercial clients globally. Fueled by a recent $190 million Series C funding round, we are in a hyper-growth phase and seeking a highly skilled Senior MDR Analyst to join our dedicated Day Shift team.
- • This role operates on a Saturday to Wednesday schedule, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST. Please note that these specific days and times are non-negotiable, and applicants must ensure their full availability for this shift before applying.
- • As a Senior MDR Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding our clients' digital assets by analyzing and evaluating anomalous network and system events within a 24/7 Security Operation Center (SOC) environment. Your primary focus will be on conducting leadless threat hunting, proactively identifying and investigating potential security incidents before they can cause significant damage.
- • You will collaborate closely with other MDR Analysts, sharing insights and expertise to research and investigate emerging cybersecurity threats. Your deep understanding of the threat landscape will make you an essential escalation point of contact for advanced intrusion analysis, guiding the team through complex investigations.
- • A key responsibility will be developing comprehensive Incident Analysis Reports. These reports will meticulously document findings, methodologies, and recommendations, ensuring clear communication and a thorough understanding of security events. You will work cross-functionally with various business units and directly with our customers to ensure issues are resolved efficiently and effectively, bringing them to a satisfactory close.
- • Beyond reactive analysis, you will contribute to the strategic enhancement of our operational efficiency. This includes helping to design and build automation solutions aimed at reducing repetitive operational tasks within SOC processes, freeing up valuable analyst time for more critical threat hunting and investigation activities.
- • You will provide actionable threat and vulnerability analysis based on security events observed across a diverse portfolio of independent customer environments. This requires a keen ability to translate complex technical data into clear, concise, and actionable intelligence that clients can use to strengthen their security posture.
- • To stay ahead of evolving threats, you will build and maintain test lab environments. These environments will be crucial for researching emerging techniques, testing new tools, and contributing to the internal and external knowledge development of our threat operations team. Your findings will directly inform our defensive strategies and enhance our detection capabilities.
- • Furthermore, you will review sandbox technologies and analyze artifacts uncovered during investigations to identify additional Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), enriching our threat intelligence and improving our detection accuracy.
- • Our company culture is built on the pillars of high-quality execution, unwavering ownership, and strong moral principles. We pride ourselves on always doing right by our customers, ensuring our integrity is never compromised. If you are a driven professional with a genuine passion for continuous learning and contributing to best-in-class cybersecurity solutions, Blackpoint Cyber is the place for you.
- • The team is energetic, collaborative, and maintains a high-performance culture. We foster an environment that enables professional growth by embracing and overcoming the challenges presented by the modern cyberthreat landscape. Your contributions will be valued, and your development will be supported.
- • This role demands excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills. You must possess the ability to deconstruct complex issues, identify anomalous patterns, and articulate your findings clearly. Exceptional communication skills are essential for effectively summarizing and presenting your findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring that critical security information is understood and acted upon.
🎯 Requirements
- • Five (5) years of experience in an information security role, with progressive relevant training or certifications potentially substituting for one (1) year of experience.
- • Experience working in a Security Operations Center (SOC), Threat Hunting, or Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) environment is highly preferred.
- • Two (2) years of experience triaging endpoint events from EDR/NGAV solutions and supporting the Incident Response (IR) process.
- • Deep knowledge of assessing threat indicators within a Windows Environment, including malware, malicious anomalies, abnormal network activity, root-level compromise, and forensic artifacts.
- • Robust understanding of at least two of the following operating systems: Windows, Linux, or OSX.
- • Familiarity with scripting/programming languages such as PowerShell, Python, and Go.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive Health, Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance plans for eligible employees in the US.
- • Robust 401k plan to support your financial future.
- • Discretionary Time Off (DTO) policy, offering flexibility and work-life balance.
- • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge cybersecurity technology and contribute to national security-grade solutions.
