Business title: MDR Security Analyst

Department: Global Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

The cybersecurity industry is at an inflection point. As adversaries evolve and detection demands accelerate, 24/7 security monitoring is transforming from reactive alert processing into intelligent, customer-centric threat defense. You'll join our Global Managed Detection & Response (MDR) team at exactly the right moment: when AI-driven alert triage and anomaly detection are enabling analysts to identify genuine threats faster, reduce false positives and focus on what matters most: knowing our customers deeply, protecting them completely and being the team they trust without question.

About the Role

In this role, you're not just monitoring alerts. You're building the foundation of trusted customer partnerships by translating security events into clear, actionable intelligence. Working alongside AI systems that accelerate your detection capabilities, you'll distinguish genuine threats from noise, contain emerging incidents and deliver the kind of clear, confident communication that customers rely on when it matters most.

As a Security Analyst, you'll be the first line of defense, monitoring security events across Fortune 500 enterprises and critical infrastructure. You'll investigate real-time alerts, analyze suspicious behavior through the MITRE ATT&CK framework and contribute to the continuous refinement of detection rules that improve our collective ability to predict and prevent threats.
