As a Security Analyst, reporting to the Director of Security Operations, you’ll support the monitoring, detection, and initial response to security events using enterprise security platforms such as security information and event management (SIEM) / extended detection and response (XDR) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules. This includes triaging alerts, escalating incidents, maintaining documentation, and contributing to the tuning and optimization of security tools.

A key aspect of the role is providing day-to-day operational support to Security Operations by assisting with investigations, performing technical analysis, and contributing to process improvements.

Security Technology Support

• Support the management and monitoring of firewalls, web application firewalls (WAF), bot defense systems, secure email, proxies, URL filtering, and DLP tools.
• Assist with firewall change reviews, WAF alert monitoring, and rule validation to maintain compliance and security effectiveness.
• Participate in tool evaluations, providing feedback on usability and effectiveness during proof-of-concept or testing phases.

Threat Intelligence & Vulnerability Monitoring

• Track and log indicators of compromise (IOCs) from internal and external threat feeds, escalating high-priority findings as appropriate.
• Review vulnerability advisories, vendor alerts, and security announcements to identify potential risks to Servus’s systems.
• Contribute to the integration of threat intelligence into monitoring platforms and workflows.

Documentation, Learning & Collaboration

• Maintain and update team documentation, runbooks, and knowledge bases to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Participate in team knowledge-building sessions, cross-training, and continuous learning initiatives.
• Collaborate with IS, Cybersecurity, and other business units to support incident handling, tool improvements, and process enhancements.

What you Bring:

Experience and Education: 

• 1–2 years of experience in cybersecurity or IT, with exposure to security operations, monitoring tools (e.g., SIEM, EDR/XDR), and basic incident response.
• Foundational understanding of cybersecurity concepts including event monitoring, phishing detection, data protection, and network security.
• Hands-on exposure to security technologies such as SIEM platforms, secure email gateways, EDR/XDR, web proxies, DLP, and firewall tools.
• Ability to investigate basic incidents, document findings, and follow established response and escalation processes under supervision.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to collaborate with technical and business teams effectively.
• Ability to manage multiple alerts and tasks, maintain accurate records, and prioritize effectively in a dynamic environment.
