Associate Analyst, Managed Threat Response (MTR)
About Mimecast
Mimecast is a leading cybersecurity company that secures Human, Data and AI, protecting organizations across the people who work for them, the data they rely on, and the AI systems now woven through how they operate. With over 42,000 customers worldwide, we analyse more than 18 billion security events daily to stop attacks before they cause harm.
Our business is to secure Human, Data and AI. People remain both an organization's greatest asset and its most targeted point of attack, the data they create and depend on needs protecting wherever it moves, and the AI systems now embedded in daily work introduce a new surface that has to be defended. Our platform combines advanced threat detection, awareness training, and Incydr data protection to reduce the likelihood and impact of security incidents across all three.
The Opportunity
As an MTR Associate Analyst you will be joining the Mimecast Messaging Security organization and be responsible for supporting a service for on-demand threat resolution. The service is designed to provide customers with prompt feedback and intelligence on email-borne threats, remediate these threats from their email environment to reduce dwell time, and put the appropriate detections in place to prevent further incidents from occurring. The role may require working afternoon and evening shifts and being part of a rotation for holiday support.
Messaging Security ensures that our security-focused solutions are performing accurately and efficiently. We verify that Mimecast can detect the latest email-borne threats amidst a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Through threat research and customer feedback we identify where Mimecast can be improved and update detection at our spam, URL, and attachment security layers. We strive for proactive, rather than reactive, approaches to threat detection.
The team is also responsible for assuring that Mimecast maintains an exceptional sending reputation by looking for compromised email addresses and senders following poor mailing practice.
