Cyber Operations
As a Cyber Operations Analyst at Barclays within the Chief Information Security Office, you will be responsible for monitoring operational controls, implementing and managing security controls, and protecting the bank from potential cyber-attacks while responding to active threats.
Your core responsibilities include managing security monitoring systems such as intrusion prevention and detection systems to alert, detect, and block potential cyber security incidents, ensuring prompt response to restore normal operations with minimized system damage. You will manage and analyze SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems to collect, correlate, and analyze security logs, events, alerts, and potential threats.
A critical aspect of the role involves triaging data loss prevention (DLP) alerts to identify and prevent sensitive data from being exfiltrated from the bank's network. You will also manage cyber security incidents end-to-end, including remediation and driving them to closure. Staying current with emerging cyber security threats, attack techniques, and detection/prevention technologies is essential.
The role requires strong analytical and investigative skills, the ability to prioritize workloads effectively, and sound judgment on when to escalate issues to management. Understanding of data leakage threats and mitigations is highly valued. You should be comfortable working remotely from direct line management and possess excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will lead and supervise a team, guiding professional development and coordinating resources.
