• Maintain accurate incident records and contribute to security reporting.
• Support threat intelligence activities to identify emerging threats and assess their relevance to the bank.
• Assist with security risk and compliance activities, including documentation, evidence collection and reporting of identified risks.

What you will bring

• Experience in information security or IT infrastructure, with exposure to security technologies such as EDR, SIEM, PAM, DLP, and other security controls.

• Familiarity with traditional infrastructure, cloud environments and application technologies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues and escalate when required.
