The Opportunity:

Are you an experienced cybersecurity analyst who enjoys digging deeper than the alert? Do threat hunting, complex investigations, and finding the activity others miss interest you? Join a team of advanced cybersecurity analysts working to protect the systems that support one of the world’s most critical hubs for global trade and supply chain operations. As a Tier III SOC Analyst and Shift Lead, you’ll combine deep technical expertise with operational leadership in a 24×7 Security Operations Center.
