Cloud Security Analyst & Incident Response Specialist

As a Cloud Security Analyst & Incident Response Specialist, you will be responsible for monitoring and investigating high-risk alerts from Wiz across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Your role will involve analyzing attack paths, exposed services, and identity risks using Wiz Security Graph. You will collaborate with DevSecOps and Cloud Platform teams to triage and contain incidents, correlating Wiz alerts with signals from SIEM, endpoint, and identity tools to understand the full attack context. Supporting incident response efforts by conducting root cause analysis and post-incident reviews will also be part of your responsibilities. Your critical skills should include a degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience. You should have 3-6 years of experience in security operations, incident response, or threat detection, ideally with a cloud focus. Familiarity with Wiz, including security graph analysis, alert triage, and custom WQL queries is required. Understanding common cloud threats and misconfigurations in AWS, Azure, and/or GCP is essential, along with experience in tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, or other SIEM/SOAR platforms. Knowledge of core security concepts such as IAM, network security, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework is crucial. In this role, you will develop or improve playbooks for automated cloud incident response and stay current on evolving threats in cloud environments, such as identity-based attacks, privilege escalation, and lateral movement. Documenting response workflows, findings, and lessons learned to support continuous improvement is also expected. You should be comfortable working in fast-paced environments with cross-functional teams, possessing strong analytical and communication skills for documenting and sharing threat insights.,
