The Senior Threat Intelligence Investigator tracks and analyzes cyber threat actors and APT groups to protect Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The role involves conducting deep-dive investigations, managing threat intelligence platforms, and producing actionable intelligence reports for both technical and executive stakeholders.
The Oracle Threat Intelligence Center (OTIC) is responsible for the tracking and monitoring of a range of threat actors from cybercrime to Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups impacting OCI and its customers. The scope and responsibility of this team includes attack analysis, tracking threat actor's indicators of compromise (IOCs) and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), aiding in security incident response, executive communication, technical writing, and customer outreach.
As a Threat Intelligence Investigator, you will be responsible for tracking the activities of threat actors. This includes independently tracking numerous groups and leading operational activities during relevant situations. You will be expected to handle large and complex datasets and develop new solutions to enhance your tracking and analysis capabilities. You will also have a passion for cybersecurity, with a strong interest in researching and investigating current threat trends, emerging threats, and actors. This role requires the ability to produce intelligence products and adapt to an organic and fast-paced environment.
