M365D enables Microsoft’s enterprise customers to detect, investigate, understand, and respond to advanced threats on their networks via a combination of behavioral sensors, security analytics, and threat intelligence. We are looking for a Threat Analyst to join our defender Experts team. In this role you will use deep knowledge of the attacker landscape and rich telemetry from our sensors across wide range of Microsoft security products to respond to the potential adversaries or suspicious activities in the customer environment. Ensuring that no human adversary can operate silently begins with experts harnessing the powerful optics provided by M365D, across the attacker kill-chain, coupled with world-class detections. We’re looking for a skilled Threat Detection Engineer to harness the power of Microsoft’s trillions of security signals to quickly identify and report the latest human adversary behaviors, drive critical context-rich alerts, build new tools and automations in support of detection development objectives, and drive innovations for detecting advanced attacker tradecraft.
