- A keen sense of humor
- A fundamental understanding of phishing, TCP/IP, and core application layer protocols
- Basic understanding of Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems and command line tools

- Familiarity with the attack lifecycle (or kill chain, if you prefer)

What the job involves
- You’ve caught the security bug
- Maybe it was the 18th breach-related credit-monitoring notification that started you down a research rabbit hole
- Maybe you like the competitive nature of going against the world's best attackers
- Maybe you like computers and protecting people and just realized there is a job that checks both of those boxes
- One thing is for certain; you are set on becoming a cyber security analyst
- You’ve read the blogs, watched tutorials, downloaded Wireshark and collected some network traffic, maybe even gotten a cert
- Now it's time to join the fight!
- 90+% of data breaches begin with phishing, and our growing Managed Phishing service sets out to keep our customers secure
- If you want to help grow this team, and break into security analysis, we’d love to speak with you!
- A Junior Security Operations Center Analyst position at Expel may be just what you’re looking for
- Not only will you help our customers stay safe, you’ll learn how to think like an attacker, respond to real attacks, and be encouraged to innovate and solve problems
- Surrounded by seasoned analysts, you’ll have no shortage of mentors eager to help you master the art
- What You Can Do For Expel (With the help of training, of course):
- Apply your real passion for information security at protecting our customers
- Participate in our 24x7 shift rotation: bad actors remain active throughout nights, weekends, and holidays so we’re always watching
- Be perpetually dissatisfied with the state of affairs, then help us get better
- Help us meaningfully impact the security of our customers' organizations
- Once we bring you up to speed, constantly experiment to find new ways of catching bad actors
Our take
As ransomware and hacking threats rise, identifying and resolving breaches in security must be done quickly. Lack of transparency in cybersecurity makes it difficult for engineers to detect, understand, and fix the issues as fast as possible. Expel is aiming to redefine what a security operations centre and managed detection service look like in the modern age.
Though the company faces competition from the vast number of cybersecurity platforms, Expel positions itself as a viable alternative to the service delivery model of managed security service providers (MSSPs) by offering a comprehensive management platform that connects to its customers’ tech remotely through APIs, providing fast detection and clear solutions.
Having reached unicorn status, the company is establishing a stronger presence in the European and Asia-Pacific markets, capturing business in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its 2022 funding is being used to accelerate sustainable growth, continue the company's international expansion, and push forward with go-to-market initiatives.
