UK, UK, United Kingdom Dragonfly People Full time

As a Cyber Security Specialist, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding our clients digital assets and infrastructure from potential cyber threats.

Your primary responsibility will involve monitoring, analyzing, and responding to security incidents, as well as implementing measures to proactively prevent security breaches. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with security policies, assess vulnerabilities, and recommend remediation strategies to mitigate risks effectively.


Key Responsibilities:

Endpoint Protection Deployment and Management:

  • Install, configure, and maintain endpoint protection solutions such as antivirus software, anti-malware tools, host-based intrusion detection/prevention systems (HIDS/HIPS), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms.
  • Ensure that endpoint protection software is up-to-date with the latest definitions, patches, and security updates to defend against emerging threats.

Threat Detection and Prevention:

  • Monitor endpoint activities and network traffic for signs of malicious behavior, suspicious activities, or known attack patterns.
  • Implement proactive measures to detect and prevent malware, ransomware, phishing attempts, and other types of cyber threats from compromising endpoints.
  • Configure security policies and rules to enforce access controls, encryption, and other security measures to protect sensitive data on endpoints.

Incident Response and Remediation:

  • Respond to security alerts and incidents detected on endpoints by investigating the root cause, containing the threat, and initiating remediation actions. Isolate infected endpoints from the network, quarantine malicious files, and remove malware infections to prevent further spread across the organization.
  • Document incident details, response actions, and lessons learned to improve incident response procedures and enhance endpoint security posture.

Vulnerability Management:

  • Conduct vulnerability assessments and scans on endpoints to identify software vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security weaknesses.
  • Prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk assessment and severity ratings to address the most critical issues first.
  • Coordinate with system administrators and IT teams to apply patches, updates, and security fixes to mitigate identified vulnerabilities and strengthen endpoint security.

Data Protection and Encryption:

  • Implement data loss prevention (DLP) measures to monitor and control the transfer of sensitive data to and from endpoints, both within the organization's network and over external channels.
  • Encrypt sensitive data stored on endpoints and in transit to protect it from unauthorized access or interception by malicious actors.
  • Enforce security policies and encryption standards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Security Awareness and Training:

  • Educate end-users about cybersecurity best practices, such as safe web browsing habits, avoiding suspicious links or email attachments, and recognizing social engineering techniques.
  • Provide training and guidance on how to use endpoint security tools effectively, report security incidents, and respond to security alerts in a timely manner.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), or other relevant certifications preferred.
  • Proven experience in cybersecurity roles, with a strong understanding of security principles, technologies, and best practices.
  • Proficiency in using security tools such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, antivirus, firewalls, and vulnerability scanners.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Defender Security & Compliance Suite, Exchange Online Protection, CASB, Mimecast, Inutne Policy Deployment, Microsoft Entra ID etc…
  • Hands-on experience in Identity & Access Governance, Access reviews Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly identify and respond to security incidents.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Knowledge of regulatory requirements and compliance standards relevant to the organization's industry (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOC2) is desirable.
