Additional Responsibilities

Security Operations Support

  • Assist with monitoring SIEM/XDR alerts and performing initial analysis.

  • Help review firewall, VPN, and authentication logs for anomalies.

  • Assist with the rollout of an automated email-analysis and triage system, including initial configuration, rule tuning, and workflow setup.

  • Help review and classify user-reported suspicious emails to improve the accuracy of automated decision-making.

  • Participate in testing automated remediation actions, such as message quarantine or removal from user inboxes, before they are enabled in production.

  • Document processes, workflows, and response playbooks related to automated phishing-email handling.

Identity & Access Management

  • Assist with user access reviews and privilege audits.

  • Help document IAM workflows and identify opportunities for improvement.

  • Support MFA and conditional access initiatives by validating access requirements and helping document configuration standards.

General Security Program Support

  • Research emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security best practices.

  • Contribute to internal security awareness initiatives.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • Basic understanding of core cybersecurity concepts, including threats, vulnerabilities, malware behavior, and authentication principles.

  • Familiarity with endpoint security technologies such as XDR/EDR platforms, antivirus solutions, and patch management tools.
