Adversary Emulation Analyst

Role Overview

TP ICAP is seeking an experienced Red/Purple team operator to assist the Adversary Emulation Manager with elevating TP ICAP’s prevention and detection capability.

• Define and execute purple team sprints that materially and demonstrably improve TP ICAP’s ability to prevent and detect modern attacks.
• Simulate both established and emerging attacker TTPs and personally build the respective detection rules and response procedures.
• Through the delivery of purple team sprints, identify opportunities to reduce TP ICAP’s attack surface using preventative controls.
• Work in tandem with the SOC to tune existing rules and increase alert fidelity/decrease alert fatigue.
• Include analysts on the purple team journey, aiding in staff retention.
• Train analysts in modern attacker TTPs and the ‘attacker mindset’.
• Work with the Security Engineering team as necessary to support the deployment and tuning of security-related tooling, particularly those that pertain to prevention and detection.
• Develop processes for attack surface monitoring and constant validation through automation.
• Act as an escalation point for the SOC and assist with incident response.
• Feed into prioritisation of sprint focus areas.

• Practical experience emulating sophisticated cyber-attacks, likely in a Purple or Red Team capacity.
• Active contributor to offensive security research and/or tooling, perhaps presenting this research at industry-recognised conferences and forums.
• Ability to evade defensive controls such as EDR and AV, tailoring open-source tooling and rolling your own where required.
• Experience working closely with the SOC to build detection capability.
• Strong knowledge of offensive security and modern attacker TTPs.
• Familiarity with the Mitre ATT&CK framework.
• Development/automation experience.
• Familiarity with AWS is preferred.
