Your Team & Role
As a Cyber Security Operations Specialist, you would be functioning as the first line of defense for the company. This position is much more than just watching an incident queue. You will have the opportunity to develop integrations, correlations, and SIEM content to better protect the environment.
The CSOC, and the larger ISO, are dynamic teams that look for self-motivated talent, meaning the CSOC will embrace and leverage the background and abilities you offer to better the overall organization. Ideal candidates will enjoy solving complex puzzles (also known as security incidents) in a fast-paced Information Security environment. Candidates would use their background in networking, operating systems, and security tools/knowledge to not just remediate any incidents that arise but also work with the senior members of the CSOC to create custom detections, alerts, and reporting to further improve the capabilities of the CSOC. Ideal candidates are comfortable working in a potentially high stakes environment while working off potentially incomplete/not ideal
information/conditions.
As this position is a mid-tier Analyst, the expectation is also to help mentor and guide the more junior Analysts, while potentially covering for the shift lead. Besides the more traditional SOC work event
investigation/management,
Here is What You Can Expect on a Typical Day
- Analyze potential security incidents to resolve impact/scope of the incident.
- Follow and offer improvements to Incident Response procedures to perform preliminary log collection and incident investigations, determining the cause of the security incident, containing the threat, and building protections against future infections.
- Collaborate with technical personnel and other teams in the ISO as well as the larger organization as required to facilitate incident response and enhancing detective capabilities.
- Follow and offer improvements to critical issue procedures to counteract and contain potential threats.
- Appropriately inform and advise team/site/shift leads and managers on incidents and incident prevention.
- Document changes to and conform to existing processes related to security monitoring.
- Participate in knowledge sharing with other Analysts and amplify solutions efficiently.
- Conduct network, endpoint, and log analysis by applying various consoles on a regular basis (e.g., SIEM, IPS, firewall, EDR, advanced malware detection etc.).
- Leverage the toolset to investigate incidents using computer/network forensic techniques to reconstruct events, identify unknown intrusions using indicators of compromise as well as identify and track any lateral movement.
- Work closely with team members, management, and other IT teams (Workstation, Network, Server, etc.).
- Maintain the integrity and security of enterprise-wide cyber systems and networks by coordinating resources during enterprise triage/incident response efforts.
- Apply an understanding of attack signatures, tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with advanced threats, while using security domain knowledge to improve Prudential's defenses/detection mechanisms.
