The Role

The Schonfeld Cybersecurity Operations Team is seeking a highly skilled Senior Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience in cyber incident handling, particularly involving material breaches. The ideal candidate will leverage their experience to enhance our team's capabilities in implementing preventative controls, conducting proactive threat hunting, and executing effective incident response actions.

The analyst must continually adapt to stay a step ahead of cyber attackers and stay up to date on the latest methods attackers use to infiltrate networks and systems. Analysts in this role are expected to consistently learn and grow. This is not a passive career opportunity, but rather one that requires a passion for cybersecurity and rigor to protect the business.

What you’ll do 

  • Utilize adversarial threat intelligence to strengthen the organization's overall security framework and mitigate potential impacts.
  • Lead the identification, containment, eradication, and recovery processes for systems affected by cybersecurity incidents.
  • Review and approve configurations for critical network components, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, etc., ensuring they meet our cybersecurity standards.
  • Keep up-to-date with the latest security trends, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices to proactively enhance Schonfeld's security posture.
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and audits to identify and address security risks and gaps.
  • Evaluate and implement advanced deception technologies to mislead and thwart adversaries.
  • Actively monitor, assess, and recommend tactical and strategic initiatives based on emerging threats, with a focus on risks to cloud computing environments.
  • Assess and enhance the security technology stack, processes, procedures, and support models. Leverage automation to improve efficiency without hindering business innovation.
  • Engage in continuous learning and professional growth to stay ahead of relevant attack vectors and techniques.

What you’ll bring
What you need:

  • At least 5 years of experience in a Security Operations/Analyst role.
  • Hands on incident handling experience and thorough knowledge of industry standard incident response frameworks (ie. SANS PICERL, NIST, etc.)
  • Prior threat hunting experience
  • Experience in cloud technologies and subcomponents as it relates to SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, as well as public, private, and hybrid.
  • Ability to effectively communicate business risk as it relates to information security.
  • Knowledge of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), MITRE ATT&ACK framework, CVSS, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and deception techniques.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting tabletop exercises and adversary emulation.
  • Previous participation in vulnerability and penetration testing engagements.
  • Experience managing and analyzing logs for various networking technologies such as Firewalls, Network Switches/Routers, DNS Servers, WAFs, ZTNA, etc.
  • Experience with multiple computing platforms, including Windows, OSX, Linux, Unix, networks and endpoints.
  • Demonstrated ability to remain current with the evolving threat landscape (especially those targeting the financial sector).
  • Experience with various detection & response technologies (ie. Honeypots, SIEM/XDR, and EDR).
  • Leverage critical thinking skills to facilitate informed and secure decisions.
  • Ability to work calmly under pressure and with tight deadlines.
  • Strong communication (written and verbal).

We’d love it if you had:

  • Digital Forensics Windows & Linux (i.e., Filesystem/Memory Analysis).
  • Hands-on experience utilizing common penetration techniques and tools.
  • An understanding of attack surface management tools, including their capabilities and limitations.
  • Prior experience conducting social engineering campaigns: email phishing, phone calls, text phishing.
  • One or more scripting languages (e., Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, and Bash).
  • Prior web application assessment experience.
  • Familiarity with common change and project management frameworks (ie. ITIL).
