OUR PARTNER:

Our partner, ABN AMRO Clearing, is a global leader in the domain of clearing, offering access to a wide range of listed instruments on markets across the globe.

IT is at the heart of their organization with more than 30 different product teams and 10 different platform teams that are trying to build the best products & services for their customers.

Their presence in important financial centers like Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo Hong Kong, London, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt and Iasi, allows them to effectively serve clients worldwide and maintain close proximity to their diverse customer base.

THE ROLE INVOLVES:

The role is for our partner's CISO O&I department which is responsible for the daily security operations of ABN AMRO Clearing Bank. Their responsibilities include cyber threat intelligence, vulnerability management, security monitoring, and incident response. The team consists of security professionals located in Sydney, Amsterdam, and Chicago.

The global landscape of our partner contains a diverse combination of networking solutions, operating systems, and applications. To perform their daily operations, the teams rely on market leading security tools and technologies like EDR, SIEM, Vulnerability Scanners etc.

The vacant role contains multiple aspects of work in a Security Operations Centre with the mention that the primary focus will be on Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Security Monitoring.

As a CTI & SOC Analyst you play a critical role in keeping the company safe by assessing the risk and impact of threats and security incidents in a highly regulated environment.

Within CTI, they continuously collect data from internal sources, global ISACs, vendor advisories, government agencies, and open-source resources. Afterwards they process it and analyze it to determine its relevance to AACB. The intelligence output is utilized for threat hunting, use-case delivery, identifying potential incidents via emerging threats, exploited vulnerability or zero-day disclosures. Their (annual) reports are used for threat intelligence-based security assessments and organizational wide risk assessments.

For Security Monitoring it's about triaging security alerts and resolving incidents. The alerts are often escalated via their Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) who provides Tier-1 SOC services to AACB, during the week and weekend. You will then swiftly perform triage and decide what actions should be done to contain the threat. For the analysis you will have access to several sources such as XDR, Firewalls, endpoints, and application logging. If an alert escalates to a security incident, you either resolve it yourself or connect with a team member to resolve it together.

Besides the daily operations, a big part of your role will be identifying areas of improvement and working with stakeholders to get these done. An improvement can range from a small modification to the implementation of a new tool, all while working together and challenging the stakeholders who are a part of this process.
