Analyst - Multiple Teams

As digital threats continue to evolve and threaten businesses large and small, bad actors are improving their tactics, techniques and procedures faster than corporate security teams can keep up. Increasingly organized and collaborative, their methods grow more sophisticated each year. Our clients continually look to EY for our knowledge and resources to assist with their Digital Investigations & Privacy needs.

The opportunity

Working with companies across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative solutions for the client’s specific needs. This opportunity is for team-oriented individuals who want to continually learn, research new technologies or investigation methodologies and develop new skills to drive innovation as part of a continually evolving service offering.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. You will balance your time between directly liaising with our clients to understand their situation and create an appropriate investigation plan to perform technical review and analysis of data. This will include investigating what happened and helping the client to determine the potential impact and how the company’s data was potentially misused.  You will be helping clients assess and resolve insider threats on an ongoing basis for multiple clients at a time. That means thinking differently about the type of data misuse, identifying malicious insiders, improving the client’s data integrity, investigation methodology and mitigate privacy risks.
