Role Overview

Configure, maintain, optimize, and troubleshoot core security platforms to ensure they are functioning effectively and aligned with security policies.
Process escalated or complex requests from the Security Analyst team regarding security tools, including global/difficult exclusions, user access management, and changes requiring engineer-level permissions.
Perform regular reviews and audits of security tool configurations (e.g., quarterly settings reviews) to ensure compliance, identify misconfigurations, and resolve configuration-related alerts.
Analyze systems and applications to investigate identified vulnerabilities, understand their potential impact, and determine root causes.
Work with clients to address vulnerabilities in their environments, ensuring that clients are well protected.
Create, test, and maintain scripts (using languages like PowerShell, Bash, etc.) to automate tasks related to vulnerability management (e.g., mass deployment, reporting, remediation) and security alert handling (e.g., improving log collection).
Work closely with fellow Security Analysts and Security Engineers, sharing information, participating in team discussions, and contributing to a collaborative security environment.
Work tickets that have been escalated to you, and potentially coach Security Analyst I and Security Analyst II on next steps.
Communicate professionally and clearly with end-users or clients to gather details about potential security issues, explain security procedures, or provide guidance during incident resolution.
Interact effectively with other teams (e.g., Reactive Support, Client Strategy, NOC) to coordinate security responses and share necessary information.
Maintain accurate and detailed records of investigations, actions taken, communications, and resolutions within ConnectWise.
Offer timely and helpful support related to security inquiries, upholding a professional and customer-service-oriented approach in all interactions.
Assist with ticket management—primarily by monitoring and responding to alert-related tickets in the absence of engineering tasks.
