About the Company
Davidson Technology are working with a large State Government Department to secure a Senior Cyber Security Analyst to provide technical leadership and services and work closely with key stakeholders with regards to incident detection, response, threat intelligence and analytics to improve the Whole of Government (WofG) cyber defence capabilities.
About the Role
As the Senior Cyber Security Analyst, you'll be responsible for overseeing the delivery and continuous improvement of Whole of Government Security Operations Centre (SOC) services by leveraging technologies like SIEM, EASM, and VM tools. You will be involved in coordinating timely responses to security alerts, investigating potential intrusions using advanced forensic and analytical methods, and tuning detection rules to enhance threat accuracy. You'll lead strategic SOC process enhancements, develop and maintain operational SOPs, and analyse security trends to drive long-term improvements. Additionally, you will mentor junior analysts, collaborate with Subject Matter Experts to identify vulnerabilities, and actively contribute to the broader governmental security community through knowledge-sharing initiatives and inter-agency engagements.
About You
To be successful in this role, you'll bring extensive hands-on experience within an operational Security Operations Centre (SOC), demonstrating deep knowledge of SOC workflows such as threat intelligence sharing, vulnerability management, and incident response. You'll be proficient in Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, including detection rule creation, dashboard/report development, and tuning, and have technical expertise across a range of tools and frameworks, including Splunk, Mitre ATT&CK, D3FEND, and NIST. Skilled in scripting with languages like Python, Perl, or PowerShell, you can construct advanced security use cases, playbooks, and perform reverse engineering. Your background should include technical understanding of forensic tools (e.g., Autopsy, Wireshark), familiarity with both Linux/UNIX and Windows environments, and working knowledge of security standards such as ISO 27000, ACSC ISM, PCI DSS, and IS18. With a strong capability to develop SOPs and improve SOC maturity, your qualifications are further supported by postgraduate education in ICT or Information Systems, with cybersecurity specialisation and relevant industry/vendor certifications considered advantageous.
The Benefits
You will be offered a 6-month contract (possible extension) on an excellent hourly rate and the ability to negotiate a flexible working arrangement for the duration of the assignment.
