MDR Analyst (Level 2)

Summary

Data has never been more valuable and vulnerable. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and regulations more strict, organizations struggle to answer one key question: “Is my data safe?" At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out. We’ve built the industry’s first fully autonomous Data Security Platform to help our customers dramatically reduce risk with minimal human effort. At Varonis, we move fast. We’re an ultra-collaborative company with brilliant people who care deeply about the details. Together, we’re solving interesting and complex puzzles to keep the world’s data safe. Position Overview: Varonis MDR team is at the forefront of worldwide data detection and response services.

We are seeking a driven MDR Security Analyst to join the forefront of our data security mission- working 24x7 to monitor, triage, investigate, and escalate incidents where data is at risk and to ensure we meet operational SLAs.

Conduct thorough triage of Varonis detections through critical analysis and investigative methodologies. Validate findings and coordinate investigative and response efforts with customers and internal teams. Document and communicate investigative findings effectively, including tracking in CRM and related systems. Assist in the development, documentation, analysis, testing, and modification of Varonis’ threat detection systems, playbooks, and runbooks. Requirements: 2+ years of experience in MDR/ IR/ SOC or similar. Degree or certification(s) in cybersecurity and/or proven ability to execute across cyber security operations disciplines, including monitoring, detection, investigation, and incident response. Proven success in contributing to a team-oriented environment. Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills. Excellent communication skills in English (written and oral) and interpersonal skills (colleagues and customers). Attention to detail and the capability to deliver outcomes autonomously. Knowledge of common security technologies and tools including network-based (firewall and IDS), host-based (EDR and AV), data-based (DLP and DSPM), and identity-based (PAM and IAM), gained through experience or study. Knowledge of operational information security disciplines including alert monitoring, threat detection, incident response, security infrastructure management, and system and architecture hardening, gained through experience or study.
