Senior Cybersecurity Analyst (Artificial Intelligence)
Position Overview
We are seeking up to two (2) Cybersecurity Analysts with experience implementing artificial intelligence (AI) for computer network defense including intrusion detection, prevention and incident response activities. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise with traditional cybersecurity operations, activities, and technologies. The ideal candidate will also have experience working with a variety of AI technologies and models in a cybersecurity context. This position will require the development and delivery of AI-enabled cybersecurity processes, tools, and capabilities.
Key Responsibilities

• Implement AI-enabled solutions for cybersecurity operations and adapt existing processes to integrate emerging AI capabilities into standard operations.
• Provide key requirements, observations, design suggestions, and artifacts to inform the development of AI technologies that will support the adoption of AI technology into cybersecurity operations.
• Monitor real-time network activity flagged by a variety of intrusion detection, prevention, and analysis platforms and analyze raw data, metadata, and event logs to confirm suspected intrusion attempts into either local (on-premises) or cloud computing systems and use that information to inform the creation of AI-enabled cyber defense capabilities.
• Author and implement custom detection content for signature-based detection systems, security information and event management (SIEM) systems, host-based detection systems, and firewall logic.
• Use security orchestration and automation tools, augmented with AI, to triage events and suggest improvements on existing detections to reduce false positives and rapidly remediate redundant or repetitive detections.
• Investigate network anomalies and respond to cybersecurity incidents with a focus on AI-enabled cybersecurity operations.
• Abide by all governance and standards as defined by the Board or levied by external entities to remain compliant with all requirements when implementing AI solutions.

Develop analytic products and reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-enabled cybersecurity operations to include metrics, incident reports, and threat hunt analysis reports
