Am I a Senior Analyst, Endpoint Protection Team Candidate?

What You'll Do

• Lead complex investigations across endpoint, identity, email, network, and cloud environments, serving as technical lead for high‑severity and multi‑customer incidents.
• Conduct advanced analysis of EDR telemetry, forensic artifacts, and network data to determine root cause, attacker TTPs, and full scope of compromise.
• Investigate sophisticated Microsoft 365 attacks including business email compromise (BEC) and adversary‑in‑the‑middle (AITM), and provide expert‑level guidance to customers.
• Perform advanced review of static and dynamic malware analysis to understand threat behavior, identify indicators of compromise, and inform detection and remediation strategies.
• Develop and lead strategic and surgical remediation plans for compromised environments, including coordination of third‑party platform containment actions across customer infrastructure.
• Actively mentor and develop Analyst team members, contributing to training materials, knowledge base content, and team capability development.
• Identify and drive process improvements, contribute to SOP development, and build automation to enhance detection and response capabilities.
• Represent CrowdStrike through thought leadership activities including blog posts, CrowdCasts, and external speaking engagements.
• Deliver expert‑level customer communications, managing technical escalations and serving as a trusted advisor during critical incidents.

• Email Security Awareness: advanced experience investigating and remediating Microsoft 365 security incidents, including sophisticated business email compromise (BEC) and adversary‑in‑the‑middle (AITM) attack chains.
• Third‑Party Log Analysis: advanced proficiency querying and correlating log sources across cloud platforms, network devices, identity providers, and email platforms within a SIEM environment to build detection logic and drive complex investigations.
• Incident Remediation: proven expertise developing and executing strategic and surgical remediation plans for compromised environments, including complex multi‑host and multi‑platform scenarios with third‑party containment coordination.
• Network Operations and Architecture/Engineering: expert‑level understanding of secure network architecture with advanced hands‑on experience navigating and troubleshooting enterprise network environments to support complex incident investigations.
