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 vacant role contains multiple aspects of work in a Security Operations Centre. The primary focus for this role is on Security Monitoring, improving our partner's current capability both on technology and process… and the occasional vulnerability review.

Security Monitoring it's about triaging security alerts and resolving incidents. The alerts are often escalated via the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) who provides Tier-1 SOC services to our partner, during the week, and the weekend.

You will then swiftly perform triage and decide what actions should be done to contain the threat. If it becomes a security incident, it's expected you can resolve it from start to finish, while taking more junior team members along the way.

For the analysis you will have access to several sources such as EDR, 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.

Within Vulnerability Management you analyze and escalate vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are then picked up by different teams within the organization for them to resolve.

Besides the daily operations a big part of your role will be actively identifying areas of improvement, working with stakeholders to get these done, and supporting junior team members in their growth.

An important stakeholder is the team who manages the Security Monitoring platforms. You support them with security knowledge and decision on what would make the platform more fit for purpose. Besides the platforms an improvement can range from a small modification of the process or the implementation of a whole new tool, all while working together and challenging the stakeholders who are a part of this process.
