Department OverviewThe Cyber Security Team protects Nødnett by enabling early detection of threats and vulnerabilities and supporting effective incident response.
The team operates a hardened, segmented on-prem security environment for monitoring, investigation and incident response support, in close cooperation with Operations/NOC, external SOC partner(s), and the network owner (DSB).
Job Description

• Perform log analysis and investigation in SIEM tooling (Splunk), including timeline building and extraction of relevant indicators.

• Perform endpoint triage and analysis using EDR tooling to validate suspected compromise and support containment decisions.

• Enrich investigations with threat intelligence and IOC context; maintain a structured record of findings and assumptions.

• Support incident response with evidence-friendly collection steps and documentation; contribute to containment, eradication and recovery activities under guidance.

• Conduct playbook-driven threat hunting (basic), and document results and follow-ups.

• Support vulnerability handling with triage, severity context (CVSS), coordination and tracking of remediation/mitigations.

• Maintain case quality: clear tickets, timely updates, and clean handovers to engineers, NOC, external SOC, or CSIRT.

• Contribute to continuous improvement: reduce recurring false positives, improve playbooks/runbooks, and propose small detection and process improvements.

• Working knowledge of threat intelligence and IOC handling; familiarity with mapping activity to adversary techniques (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK as a common reference).

• Basic scripting for analyst workflows (e.g., parsing, enrichment, small automation tasks) and disciplined note-taking.

• Vendor case portal workflows for support and escalations.

• Ticketing/case handling and structured documentation (internal tooling).
