A leading global bank is seeking an Identity Threat Intelligence Analyst to support the Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) program.
This role provides identity-focused threat intelligence, analysis, and detection insights to strengthen identity security capabilities. The analyst will assess identity threat coverage across existing security tools, support proof-of-value (PoV) initiatives, and translate threat intelligence into actionable detection scenarios and pilot-ready use cases across enterprise platforms.
RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Analyse identity-focused threat intelligence and attacker techniques relevant to enterprise environments.
-
Assess identity threat detection coverage across existing security platforms (e.g., identity monitoring and cloud security tools).
-
Map identity threat scenarios across Active Directory, Entra ID, cloud platforms (Azure/AWS), UNIX, and hybrid infrastructure.
-
Support proof-of-value (PoV) activities by validating threat scenarios against available detections and telemetry.
-
Align identity threat scenarios with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.
-
Translate threat intelligence into prioritized ITDR detection use cases and scenarios.
-
Collaborate with ITDR engineers, IAM teams, and security operations to refine detection logic and response strategies.
-
Support development and rollout of ITDR pilot capabilities for prioritized identity threats.
-
Maintain documentation of identity threat scenarios, adversary techniques, and detection use cases.
-
Produce threat intelligence reports, PoV findings, and program artefacts for governance and planning.
-
Track emerging identity threats, attacker techniques, and industry trends.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
-
5+ years of experience in threat intelligence, cybersecurity analysis, or cyber defense.
-
Strong understanding of identity and access management (IAM) technologies including Active Directory, Entra ID, privileged access, and non-human identities.
-
Familiarity with cloud and hybrid environments including Azure, AWS, and enterprise infrastructure platforms.
-
Knowledge of identity-based attack techniques and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
-
Experience translating threat intelligence into detection use cases or security controls.
-
Familiarity with security monitoring, detection engineering, or security operations.
-
Strong analytical, research, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
QUALIFICATIONS
