You will coordinate with Insider Risk, Incident Response, and Legal/Compliance to address high‑risk events. The role requires 5+ years in cybersecurity operations, hands‑on Palo Alto URL Filtering and Microsoft DLP experience, and strong change management skills.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity operations, data protection, DLP operations, proxy governance, security operations, or incident handling; prior lead or senior analyst experience is preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with Palo Alto URL Filtering profile management, including Panorama/NGFW or Prisma Access/SASE policy changes, URL categories, security profiles, whitelisting/blacklisting governance, troubleshooting, validation, and rollback support.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft DLP operations, including alert triage, investigation, evidence collection, dispositioning, escalation, reporting, and operational tuning recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day Microsoft DLP monitoring operations, including queue management, prioritization, SLA tracking, quality review, and escalation oversight.

• Lead Palo Alto URL Filtering profile management activities, including policy edits, URL category/profile changes, whitelisting/blacklisting governance, access troubleshooting, exception handling, and operational impact assessment.
• Manage the change lifecycle for URL Filtering and related proxy governance requests, including intake review, risk assessment, approval coordination, implementation validation, rollback planning, evidence capture, and closure documentation.
• Support approved change windows, including weekends and non-business days, as most Palo Alto URL Filtering profile changes are implemented outside normal business hours.
• Participate in weekend on-call support when required to ensure priority URL Filtering profile changes, troubleshooting, validations, and rollback activities are supported during planned maintenance windows.
• Represent Cyber Defense Operations in Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings to review upcoming URL Filtering changes, provide operational impact input, support approvals, and ensure business requirements are understood.
