Job Description
Are you a sharp, analytical mind with a passion for proactive defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats? e& is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Analyst to join our dynamic and dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) team in Abu Dhabi. In this pivotal role, you will be at the forefront of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating emerging cyber risks that could impact our extensive global operations and critical infrastructure.
As a Threat Intelligence Analyst, you will be responsible for collecting, processing, and analyzing raw threat data from various sources – including open-source intelligence (OSINT), dark web monitoring, industry reports, and internal incident data – to produce actionable intelligence. Your primary goal will be to develop a deep understanding of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), threat actor capabilities, and attack vectors relevant to the telecommunications and technology sectors. This intelligence will inform our defensive strategies, enhance our security posture, and empower our incident response teams to react swiftly and effectively.
You will play a crucial role in enhancing our threat detection capabilities by developing and refining indicators of compromise (IOCs) and threat signatures, integrating them into our security tools like SIEM, EDR, and firewalls. This position requires not only a strong technical background but also exceptional analytical, research, and communication skills to convey complex threat information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, are eager to continuously learn and adapt to new threats, and want to contribute to the security of a leading global digital player, we encourage you to apply and help us protect our digital ecosystem against sophisticated cyber adversaries. Your contributions will directly impact the resilience and security of millions.
