The Information Security group at athenahealth is looking for a security analyst to join our Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) team. This is a hands-on role that acts as the initial triage for any incoming security incident-related request or alerts via automated workflows.
You must be someone who can debug complex problems and use methodical processes when troubleshooting a technical issue.

You must provide strong customer support and understand how and when to appropriately escalate potential issues, but also when to communicate statuses between shifts if issues are not resolved.

- Ability to know when to appropriately escalate a potential issue to peers and/or leadership.
- Willingness and ability to review and help develop strong documentation for stakeholders and team members.
- Desire to learn new concepts and technologies to grow and take on more responsibility over time.
- Champion security tooling: ensure teams know about it and use it during their daily coding activities.
- Familiarity with security tools like Splunk, CrowdStrike EDR, Carbon Black EDR, Proofpoint tools, Microsoft Defender components, Cylance Protect, Office 365 tools, PowerShell, and various network tools, etc.
- Understanding the various stages of incident response, the importance and critical factors of an investigation, and how to contain as soon as possible.
- Understand the incident response lifecycle, the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain, the MITRE framework, and the forensic workflows as outlined by NIST.
- Work with development teams to ensure they're using best practices and company processes in their daily activities.
- Drive self-organization; help determine how the team functions in collaboration with your peers
- Respond to phishing attacks by tracking down and recalling malicious e-mails; contact users who may be impacted.
- Build strong relationships with cross-functional team members between the three tiers of the CSOC.
- Participate in off-hours on-call rotation, as required, and necessary.
Typical Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in a computer-related field (computer science, information security, etc.) or equivalent job experience.

- Completion of the Security+ certification, GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH), GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC), GIAC Security Operations Certified (GSOC) or equivalent.
