About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of experience in detection engineering and developing monitoring use cases, or in security automation and scripting; expertise in both areas is not required.
  • Hbo work-and-thinking level and several years of relevant hands-on cybersecurity experience.
  • Ability to independently develop technical solutions within the area of expertise and demonstrate that they work reliably, with attention to testing, version control, and documentation.
  • Knowledge of attack techniques and how cyberattacks and security incidents appear in log and telemetry data.
  • Proficiency in Dutch at C1 level and current residence in the Netherlands.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, test, and maintain security monitoring use cases based on current threats, incidents, TTPs, and threat intelligence.
  • Improve detection coverage and systematically reduce false positives so analysts can focus on relevant and complex alerts.
  • Automate analysis, information enrichment, response, and administration using scripts, APIs, workflows, and technical integrations.
  • Establish a repeatable and manageable development process, with attention to testing, version control, documentation, and handover.
  • Validate monitoring with colleagues from CRC Red and translate findings into measurable improvements.
  • Guide CRC Blue analysts so they can increasingly apply and manage use cases and automated investigations independently.
  • Identify new opportunities for detection engineering and automation and help determine the CRC Blue technical roadmap.

Desired Qualifications

  • Develop skills in the area adjacent to the candidate’s specialty: security automation for someone focused on use cases, or detection engineering for someone focused on automation and scripting.
  • Develop skills in techniques and approaches such as KQL, PowerShell, Python, Sigma, MITRE ATT&CK, detection-as-code, and SOAR, depending on experience and duties.
  • Apply expertise across IT, OT, cloud, and identity environments.
