Senior Security Analyst – Job Description
The Senior Security Analyst is responsible for protecting the organization’s systems, networks, and data through advanced threat detection, analysis, and response. This role requires deep XDR/SIEM expertise (primary focus), with hands-on experience configuring, tuning, and optimizing modern cybersecurity tools.
Key responsibilities include managing and enhancing a diverse security stack, including Palo Alto firewalls, Darktrace, Proofpoint, Varonis, Qualys, Infoblox, and Cloudflare. The analyst will operate within a Microsoft hybrid Azure environment, ensuring secure integration between on-premises and cloud systems.
A core function of the role is to configure, tune, and optimize XDR/SIEM platforms, including rule creation, alert correlation, and log ingestion, to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives. The analyst will integrate telemetry from network, DNS, endpoint, email, and data security tools to deliver high-fidelity, end-to-end threat visibility.
Day-to-day responsibilities include security operations, such as monitoring alerts, investigating incidents, and responding to cybersecurity-related support tickets. The role also includes project-based work, focused on implementing, configuring, and continuously improving security controls and detection capabilities across the environment.
The ideal candidate brings strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, hands-on experience across security technologies, and a proven ability to fine-tune detection logic. Expertise in XDR/SIEM platforms is the most critical requirement, supported by experience in network, email, data security, DNS security, and vulnerability management tools.
