Lead Detection & Response Analyst focuses on mentoring, innovation, process improvement, and technical escalation in cybersecurity. Responsible for incident response and training.
About the team
Rapid7's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team is built from the ground up to bring motivated and passionate security talent face to face with emerging threats, practical challenges, and evil at scale. Our MDR service uses an impact-driven mindset to focus efforts on effective solutions, encouraging personal and technical innovation within the SOC. MDR provides 24/7/365 monitoring, threat hunting, incident response, and more with a focus on endpoint detection and behavioral intelligence.
About the role
The Rapid7 Lead Analyst position has 5 primary focus areas. Innovation, education, escalation, service enablement, and process improvement. This role requires practitioners who are experts in various areas of technology, tooling, application of cybersecurity concepts, and hands on DFIR. Moose in this role are expected to proactively identify areas of improvement and involvement and lean on their vast experience to execute on those areas autonomously.
In this role, you might conduct a mentoring session with an analyst to help them improve their skills. This usually involves reviewing a past investigation together and providing feedback on their process and areas for improvement. If you come to the conclusion that your mentoring session would benefit the whole team, you will take the initiative to develop and deliver enablement to the team at large. This process may involve working with other analysts or team leads to assist in the development of the training, as well as documenting it in the analyst playbooks.
If a complex investigation is in flight, you might choose to assist, utilizing your extensive DFIR knowledge, as well as thorough knowledge of Rapid7's internal tools, to more efficiently reach a determination of root cause. During the course of the investigation, you might discover an opportunity to develop new training or a process improvement, and you'll take the initiative to act on the opportunity after your investigation is complete. In addition to directly involving yourself in an investigation, you may serve as a technical escalation point for emergent threats affecting our entire customer base.
You will work within your team and collaborate cross functionally scope, lead and complete your initiatives. Furthermore, you will work with MDR leadership to help prioritize your work to maximize positive outcomes for the service and its customers.
Success in this role looks like...
