Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field
- Proven experience in a similar role within a SOC or cybersecurity environment
- Strong knowledge of security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) systems
- Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g. Bash, Python, PowerShell) and scripting languages (KQL and LogScale) for automation and detection rule creation
- Familiarity with various security tools and technologies (e.g., IDS/IPS, EDR, firewalls)
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong communication and teamwork abilities
- Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, GCIA, OSCP) are a plus
- This role requires a deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, threat detection methodologies, and incident response
What the job involves
- We are seeking a skilled and motivated Detection Engineer to join our SOC team
- The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining detection mechanisms to identify and respond to security threats and optimize the already existing detection flows
- Develop and maintain detection rules for the security products supported by our service offering and manage indicators to identify potential security threats
- Monitor security alerts and events to identify suspicious activities and potential breaches through our in-house built alerting dashboards
- Conduct thorough analysis of security incidents and provide detailed reports
- Collaborate with the SOC team to improve detection capabilities and response strategies based on real-world scenarios and threats
- Stay updated with the latest open- and closed-source threat intelligence and incorporate it into detection mechanisms
- Perform regular tuning and optimization of existing detection flows and technologies, both in-code and in formal processes
- Assist in the development and implementation of security policies and procedures
- Provide guidance and training to junior SOC analysts on detection techniques and best practices
Our take
Eye Security was founded by a trio of Dutch Security Services and Intelligence experts, who wanted to combine round-the-clock cyber security with built-in cyber insurance in one platform. Small businesses are the top priority for the company, as these organizations lose billions in damages related to cyber attacks every year.
With hundreds of customers across a wide array of industries, Eye Security’s proposition is a subscription model, making it more manageable for small businesses. Beyond its flagship cyber security and insurtech solution, the company also offers more tailored packages and industry-specific solutions, further widening its appeal.
It is this suitability for many industries that makes Eye Security stand out, and it has attracted substantial investment from the likes of JP Morgan. Interestingly, this will be used to consolidate its presence in European markets, rather than expanding into the likes of North America - where it would likely meet fierce competition from native companies.
