Work you’ll do

As a Fusion Senior Threat Hunter, you will support the Security Operations Center (SOC) by researching relevant threat actors, attack vectors, and behaviors pertinent to client industries and to each client’s network environment in particular.

• Research trending campaigns, attack vectors, and search for these in client environments

• Be tool agnostic – our Threat Hunting tools may differ from client to client, and we value concepts over tools. The ideal candidate must possess an acute ability to adapt to any tool

• Maintain awareness of the client’s technology architecture, known weaknesses, the architecture of the security solutions used for monitoring, imminent and pervasive threats as identified by threat intelligence, and recent security incidents

• When needed, work with alerts from the SOC Analysts, to perform in depth analysis and triage threat activity based on host and network activity, traffic, and protocol analysis to identify threat/infection vectors, the extent of the infection, and prepare high quality reports based on findings

• Respond to client specific investigation requests around software/application vulnerabilities, zero days, and security incidents

• Document all actions taken in a ticketing workflow management system

• Present threat hunt findings to clients occasionally – proven presentation and communication skills are essential

• Serve as a subject matter expert in at least one security-related functional area (e.g. malware reverse engineering, python programming, digital forensics, etc.)

• Adhere to internal operational security and other Deloitte policies

• Hunt for new patterns, activities, and ever-changing tactics associated with advanced threat actors

• Provide Security information and event management (SIEM) content development and testing support

• Provide recommendations for remediation of assets identified during hunting/minimize risk associated with threat. These include but are not limited to security upgrades, configuration changes, and SIEM content recommendations

• When necessary, devise and document new techniques, automation, and procedures along with the service leadership

• Mentor junior threat hunters and run training sessions

• Foster a culture of collaboration and build team members’ strengths

• Collaborate with service leadership to help grow the service
