Thanks for checking out our job opening; we are excited that YOU are interested in learning more about NCC Group.

We are on a mission to make society a safer and more secure place. Our people are the ones who make that possible; a global community of talented individuals working together towards a safer future.

We aim to create an environment where everyone can reach their full potential. We work together, we are brilliantly creative, we embrace difference and we want you to join in our mission, to make the world safer and more secure.

The Opportunity:

As a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst you will play a key role in our Tactical Threat Intelligence team.

Together with colleagues spanning almost all time zones, you will help to make our clients safer and more secure against cyber threats by helping them understand the motivations of relevant actors, identifying their targets and how they operate.

The Global Threat Intelligence Team has built a very strong reputation when it comes to collecting our own data and combining this with open and commercial sources. This role involves analysis of cyber threats, the development of actionable intelligence, and collaboration with various teams.

Your support to the wider organisation will be critical in the development of Fox-IT's Threat Intelligence capabilities and the broader service we offer.

Key Accountabilities:

• Identify, track, and document various Threat Actors. Document and report on their TTPs, IOCs and Infrastructure.
• Monitor and analyse Command and Control (C2) infrastructures, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and malicious domains.
• Map observed threat activity to known frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK) and produce structured intelligence using formats such as STIX/TAXII.

Support:

• Provide Threat Intelligence research and contextual analysis to support Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and Security Operations (SOC) teams.
• Combine technical investigations with geopolitical and regional context to deliver comprehensive, context-rich assessments.
• Respond to internal and external Requests for Information (RFI), offering timely, actionable intelligence.

Collaboration and Information Sharing:

• Partner with internal teams, external partners, industry peers, and intelligence-sharing communities to enhance the organisation's threat landscape awareness.
• Engage in information-sharing forums and maintain current knowledge of emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and threat actor trends.

Tool Management:

• Manage and optimise threat intelligence platforms, sources, and feeds to improve analysis efficiency.
• Evaluate and recommend new tools or platforms to strengthen the Threat Intelligence function's capabilities.

Technical Skills:

• Experience in Threat Intelligence analysis, ideally with experience in APT research, C2 tracking, and emerging geopolitical threats.
• Strong understanding of networking protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, DNS).
• Familiarity with the Cyber Threat Intelligence lifecycle and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the use of STIX/TAXII.
• Understanding of offensive security reconnaissance and attacker methodologies.
• Experience assisting or interfacing with DFIR, IR, and SOC teams.
• Qualifications (desired but not required):
• A bachelor's or master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Information Security.
• Certifications such as SANS FOR578 (Cyber Threat Intelligence) or CREST Threat Intelligence Analyst (CRTIA).
• Exposure to geopolitical risk analysis and its impact on the threat landscape.
