Incident Response Analyst
We are seeking an Incident Response Analyst to help protect critical systems, applications, and data from cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor, investigate, and respond to security incidents across a diverse technology environment. You will analyse alerts from security monitoring tools, validate potential threats, determine scope and impact, and coordinate timely containment and remediation activities. The position requires sound technical judgement, strong attention to detail, and the ability to remain effective during high-priority incidents.
Key responsibilities include triaging and investigating alerts, conducting endpoint, network, identity, and cloud-based analysis, and developing incident timelines using relevant logs and forensic evidence. You will support malware and phishing investigations, identify indicators of compromise, recommend and implement containment actions, and assist with eradication and recovery efforts. You will also create clear incident reports, maintain accurate case documentation, contribute to post-incident reviews, and recommend improvements to security controls and response procedures. The role may involve participation in an on-call rota and collaboration with infrastructure, application, risk, privacy, and business teams.
The successful candidate will have experience in cybersecurity operations, incident response, security monitoring, or a related technical discipline. You should be familiar with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network security, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and common forensic techniques. Working knowledge of attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, incident handling methodologies, and relevant security standards is desirable. Professional certifications in incident response, digital forensics, or information security are advantageous. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise competing demands, explain technical issues to non-specialist audiences, and continuously improve response capabilities.
