Zusammenfassung

Thomson Reuters Corp. is strengthening its Cyber Threat Management capability.

The Lead Cyber Threat Management Analyst will design, develop, and improve advanced threat detection across SIEM, EDR, and cloud platforms, translating threat intelligence into practical detection strategies. You will collaborate with Security Operations, Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, and Security Engineering teams to reduce risk, tune detections, and elevate the maturity of the Threat Detection program

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of experience in threat detection engineering, security operations, incident response, threat intelligence, cyber defense, or a related cybersecurity discipline.
• Demonstrated experience developing, tuning, and maintaining detection logic across multiple security platforms, including SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security tools, or similar technologies.
• Strong experience analyzing security logs, alerts, telemetry, and event data from endpoint, identity, network, cloud, application, and infrastructure environments.
• Deep understanding of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures, with the ability to translate threat intelligence into practical detection use cases.
• Strong proficiency with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, including detection mapping, coverage analysis, and the identification of defensive gaps.
• Experience operationalizing threat intelligence, including indicators of compromise, behavioral indicators, and adversary tradecraft, into detection and monitoring workflows.
• Experience scripting or automating security workflows using Python, PowerShell, or comparable languages.
• Ability to develop and improve data enrichment, detection automation, alert triage, and investigation workflows.
• Experience collaborating with Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Security Engineering, cloud, and other technical teams to improve security outcomes.
• Ability to evaluate detection quality using testing, analytics, false-positive analysis, alert trends, incident findings, and coverage metrics.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical risks, findings, and recommendations to a range of technical and business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated technical leadership skills, including experience mentoring team members or leading cross-functional security initiatives.

Aufgaben

• Architect, develop, implement, and maintain scalable threat detection logic across SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security platforms, and other enterprise security data sources.
• Design and tune detection content to identify emerging threats, suspicious activity, adversary behaviors, and indicators of compromise while minimizing false positives and alert fatigue.
• Map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to assess defensive coverage, identify detection gaps, and prioritize improvements based on risk and threat relevance.
• Operationalize threat intelligence, including indicators of compromise, tactics, techniques, procedures, and vendor intelligence, into actionable detection and monitoring strategies.
• Collaborate with Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Security Operations, and Security Engineering teams to validate detection effectiveness and improve response workflows.
• Analyze security logs, alerts, telemetry, and behavioral data from diverse sources to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential malicious activity.
• Lead the development and optimization of detection workflows, enrichment pipelines, and automation that improve investigation speed, alert context, and analyst efficiency.
• Use AI-enabled security tools responsibly to accelerate detection development, alert triage, threat research, documentation, and hypothesis generation, while validating outputs before relying on them operationally.
• Evaluate detection performance through analytics, testing, threat simulations, incident findings, red team results, and operational metrics.
• Incorporate findings from incidents, threat hunts, vulnerability intelligence, vendor updates, and adversary research into detection strategies and content improvements.
• Partner with Incident Response teams to investigate detection gaps, validate alerts, improve escalation criteria, and strengthen containment and remediation workflows.
• Develop and maintain clear documentation for detection logic, data sources, use cases, tuning decisions, investigation procedures, and coverage assessments.
• Mentor and support junior detection engineers and analysts by providing technical guidance, feedback, and development opportunities.
• Contribute to the strategic direction, operational maturity, and long-term roadmap of the Threat Detection program.
• Participate in cross-functional security initiatives, design reviews, and operational-readiness discussions to ensure detection and monitoring requirements are considered early in the development lifecycle.
