With an international presence and in full expansion of our MDR and MTI services, at DEFION we are looking for profiles with experience in monitoring and analyzing security alerts (EDR/SIEM). Here, you won’t just categorize alerts: you will investigate thoroughly to determine their origin and impact, apply threat intelligence, and carry out mitigation actions to provide the initial response to incidents.

If cybersecurity is your passion and you enjoy investigating threats, we are looking for you.

• Analyzing threat intelligence to anticipate potential attacks against our clients.
• Responding to detected threats, containing and applying mitigation measures to minimize impact.

• Collaborating on improving detection rules to optimize detections and reduce false positives.
• Contributing to the development of procedures and playbooks.
• Automating tasks and processes through scripting in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
