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

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • 7–9 years of overall cybersecurity experience preferred, with exposure to identity threat intelligence or ITDR programs.


KEY MEASURES

  • Quality and relevance of identity threat intelligence analysis

  • Contribution to ITDR PoV and pilot readiness

  • Coverage of prioritized identity threat scenarios across supported platforms
