This role will be focused on tracking and documenting cloud-related techniques that are observed in the wild and their use by targeted intrusion and eCrime adversaries. It will involve close coordination with other subject matter experts within the Intelligence team and extensive collaboration to integrate data from other data sources. This position serves an important role in increasing our understanding of trends in the global cloud threat landscape, contributing to the continuous tracking of criminal and state-sponsored adversary groups, and ultimately developing finished intelligence products.

The ideal candidate for this position is a specialist in AWS/Azure/GCP log analysis with the ability to track the adversary landscape based on intrusion behavior. We are also open to applications by experienced and talented analysts without significant knowledge in this field that are willing to rapidly expand their skills to meet the following requirements:

What You'll Do:

• Identify threats, trends, and new developments in the cloud threat landscape by analyzing raw intelligence and data. This will involve querying Logscale and analyzing raw cloud logs including CloudTrail and Azure related logs

• Basic understanding of identity and access management (IAM) concepts in the cloud

• Understanding of identity initial access and BEC techniques including AitM and password spraying

• Ability to identify and track adversary tradecraft trends

• Ability to produce quality finished intelligence products on short deadlines, as well as continuing to maintain analysis for and report on long term strategic assessments

• Basic knowledge of how malware is developed, functions, and is employed

• Desire to extend knowledge on intelligence tradecraft and technical terminology relevant to cloud intelligence, and provide assistance to other members of the intelligence team

• Undergraduate degree, military training or relevant experience in cyber intelligence, computer science, general intelligence studies, security studies, political science, international relations, etc. Other technical security certifications or academic background are a plus.
