Role Overview

The Junior Cybersecurity Analyst supports daily security-operations activities across our hybrid environment (Azure, Microsoft 365, on-prem). Guided by senior analysts, you will monitor alerts, validate indicators of compromise, assist with incident response and threat hunting, contribute to vulnerability and risk assessments, and help harden email-security controls—all mapped to MITRE ATT&CK® and the Cyber Kill Chain®.

Key Responsibilities

Security Monitoring & Triage

  • Review and triage Microsoft Sentinel alerts, endpoint telemetry and Fortinet firewall logs, escalating high-risk events.
  • Validate IOCs (hashes, domains, IPs) against threat-intel sources and document findings.

Threat Hunting & Intelligence Support

  • Participate in guided hunts using Sentinel workbooks and KQL queries aligned to ATT&CK tactics.
  • Import STIX/TAXII feeds into Sentinel watchlists and enrich events with basic IOC and TTP context.
  • Summarise emerging ransomware or vulnerability trends for weekly team briefings.

Incident Response Assistance

  • Execute first-response playbook steps: evidence collection, endpoint isolation, malicious IP blocking and ticket updates.
  • Maintain incident timelines and artifact repositories for senior analysts.

Vulnerability & Risk Assessments

  • Run authorized vulnerability scans, export results and track remediation status with system owners.
  • Assist in basic risk assessments of new applications or configuration changes, documenting potential impacts and mitigation steps.

Email Security & Anti-Phishing

  • Review Microsoft Defender for Office 365 alerts, user-reported phishing emails and quarantine queues; escalate true positives.
  • Support phishing-simulation campaigns and compile metrics for awareness reports.

Cloud & Identity Hygiene

  • Verify MFA enforcement and baseline Conditional Access policies for new accounts.
  • Review Azure sign-in logs for anomalies such as impossible travel or legacy authentication.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

  • Update runbooks, detection-rule change logs and the internal knowledge base after each ticket or investigation.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience in a SOC, security help-desk queue or similar IT-security role.
  • Foundational knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, DNS), operating systems (Windows/Linux) and core security concepts.
  • Exposure to at least one SIEM (preferably Microsoft Sentinel) and an EDR solution.
  • Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, basic incident-response concepts, vulnerability scanning and email-security fundamentals.
  • Ability to write or modify simple PowerShell, Bash or Python scripts for log parsing or automation.
  • Coursework or certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Microsoft SC-900/SC-200, CEH or equivalent.
  • Experience importing STIX/TAXII feeds, using threat-intel platforms or reviewing Microsoft Defender for Office 365 alerts.
  • Familiarity with Azure AD/Entra ID security controls and Conditional Access
  • Strong proficiency in English; bilingualism is an asset.
