Detect breaches in network security, understand alerts and inform the incident response team about system breaches
The primary role of a cyber intrusion analyst is to detect breaches in network security, such as hacks and denial-of-service attacks, for escalation to incident response. As an apprentice cyber intrusion analyst, you’ll learn to use a range of automated tools to monitor networks in real time, as well as understand and interpret the alerts that are automatically generated by these tools, including integrating and correlating information from a variety of sources and in different forms and, where necessary, seek additional information to inform your judgement on whether or not the alert represents a security breach. When an alert warrants escalation, you’ll develop the skills necessary to provide notification and support your reasoning with evidence. You’ll typically work as part of a team, which you may lead, and will interact with customers and third-party sources of threat and vulnerability intelligence and advice.
