Your opportunity: We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Insider Threat Analyst to lead the implementation of a new insider threat detection tool and build a robust insider threat operations program from the ground up.

As the Senior Insider Threat Analyst, you will be responsible for driving tool deployment and configuration, program development, cross-functional collaboration, and the operationalization of insider threat detection and response capabilities. This position is a unique opportunity to shape and enhance the maturity of our insider threat program by leveraging advanced analytics and incident response best practices.

You are familiar with Insider Threat technologies (such as User Entity Behavioral Analytics - UEBA, Security Information Event Management - SIEM, Data Loss Prevention - DLP) and understand investigations and/or the intelligence cycle.

Key Responsibilities:

Program Development:

Tool Deployment:
Lead the configuration of a new insider threat detection tool.
Ensure seamless integration with existing security systems, such as SIEM and SOAR solutions.
Collaborate with vendors and IT teams to customize the tool for organization-specific use cases.

Threat Detection and Analysis:
  • Monitor user and entity behavior analytics to identify suspicious activities and policy violations.
  • Conduct in-depth investigations into insider threat incidents, working closely with cybersecurity, HR, and legal teams.
  • Refine detection capabilities by creating and optimizing rules, alerts, and risk scoring models.
Collaboration and Training:
  • Act as a subject matter expert on insider threat risks and tools.
  • Train and mentor junior analysts and cross-functional stakeholders on insider threat detection techniques and tool usage.
Incident Response:
  • Support the investigation and resolution of insider threat incidents, ensuring thorough documentation and root-cause analysis.
  • Develop and execute response playbooks for various insider threat scenarios.
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on insider threat analysis and program development.
  • Strong understanding of UEBA tools and technology, digital forensics, and data loss prevention (DLP) strategies.
  • Proven expertise in deploying and managing insider threat tools specifically with DTex InTERCEPT
  • Experience developing policies, procedures, and workflows for insider threat management.
  • Familiarity with SIEM platforms, data analytics tools, and insider threat indicators and detection methods.
  • Experience with scripting and automation (e.g., BigQuery, Python, PowerShell) is a plus.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, GIAC, or insider threat-specific credentials (e.g., Certified Insider Threat Program Manager).
  • Knowledge of legal and regulatory requirements surrounding insider threat and data protection (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
Key Competencies:
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to design and operationalize new programs.
  • Detail-oriented, self-driven, and capable of working independently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Competent in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources, documenting results, and analyzing findings to provide viable threat intelligence.
