This role focuses on producing actionable, high-quality threat intelligence to inform strategic and operational security decisions, while also providing leadership and mentorship to junior analysts. The ideal candidate will excel in leveraging sandbox-generated data, correlating it with external intelligence sources, and driving the development of advanced threat intelligence capabilities to protect against sophisticated cyber threats.

What You Will be Doing

• Advanced IOC Analysis and Intelligence Production :

o Lead the analysis of IOCs (e.g., malicious IPs, domains, file hashes, and behavioral patterns) from the organization’s sandbox product to produce high-impact threat intelligence.

o Correlate sandbox outputs with open-source, commercial, and proprietary threat intelligence feeds to provide comprehensive threat insights.

o Develop and deliver detailed threat intelligence products, including strategic reports, threat actor profiles, and tactical alerts on emerging threats and TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures).

• Strategic Threat Intelligence Leadership :

o Guide the development and execution of the organization’s threat intelligence strategy, ensuring alignment with business objectives and risk priorities.

o Oversee the identification and prioritization of emerging cyber threats by analyzing trends and patterns in sandbox data and external intelligence sources.

o Drive the creation of threat intelligence frameworks and methodologies to enhance the organization’s proactive defense capabilities.

• Team Leadership and Mentorship :

o Mentor and supervise junior threat intelligence analysts, providing guidance on IOC analysis, intelligence production, and professional development.

o Lead training initiatives to upskill the team on advanced threat intelligence techniques, sandbox technologies, and industry best practices.

o Foster a collaborative team environment, promoting knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.

• Threat Intelligence Dissemination and Collaboration :

o Present high-quality intelligence briefings, reports, and dashboards to executive leadership, technical teams, and external stakeholders.

o Lead engagement with industry partners, ISACs, and threat intelligence-sharing platforms (e.g., MISP, ThreatConnect) to enhance collective defense efforts.

o Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including SOC, incident response, and risk management, to integrate threat intelligence into security operations.

• Sandbox Optimization and Process Improvement :

o Oversee the utilization of sandbox-generated IOCs, ensuring data is effectively leveraged for intelligence production.

o Recommend and implement enhancements to sandbox configurations and workflows to improve IOC quality and relevance.

o Evaluate and integrate new threat intelligence tools and technologies to augment sandbox capabilities.

• Continuous Threat Monitoring and Expertise :

o Stay ahead of the evolving cyber threat landscape, including advanced persistent threats (APTs), malware campaigns, and adversary methodologies.

o Maintain expertise in the MITRE ATT&CK framework and other threat intelligence standards to contextualize and prioritize findings.

o Lead research into emerging threats and contribute to thought leadership through whitepapers, blogs, or industry presentations.

What We Need from You

• Education :

o Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

o Strong knowledge of threat intelligence platforms (e.g., ThreatConnect, MISP, Recorded Future) and OSINT collection techniques.

o Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell) for automating IOC processing and intelligence workflows.

o Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex threat intelligence into actionable insights for technical and executive audiences.

o Leadership skills with a demonstrated ability to guide teams and drive strategic initiatives.

o Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively.
