A leading financial services organisation is looking for an experienced Security Analyst to strengthen its security capability. You'll be the person who spots targeted attacks against critical, customer-facing assets in the noise of logs and events, and helps shut them down.

Analyse web, application, authentication, endpoint and security appliance logs to identify malicious activity
Use Splunk (or any other SIEM tool) to investigate security events, and build macros, alerts and dashboards that surface targeted attacks
Identify common exploits and attack patterns (OWASP Top 10 and beyond) from web and event logs
Interpret Apache, IIS and Active Directory logs alongside other security data sources
Detect anomalous or malicious network activity using advanced analytics and security tooling
Support incident response, recommending and helping implement mitigations, including WAF and CDN security controls
Interpret stateful firewall rules and contribute to security operations procedures and continuous improvement
About you
Essential
Strong intrusion analysis background, with proven ability to interpret web and application logs from a security perspective
