You will work closely with fellow CTI analysts and other cross-functional teams (CSIRT, Reverse Engineering) to analyze and attribute cybercrime activity to well-known or emerging threat actors and malware variants. You will participate in monthly and ad-hoc rollups of cybercrime activity to inform broader internal stakeholders of observed trends. You will identify areas for process improvements and work with other cross-functional teams (Intel Tools) to automate and streamline new or existing workflows.
