We have a new opportunity for an Incident Response Analyst to join our Security and Resilience function in AXA UK. You’ll respond to cyber security incidents performing forensic investigations and providing cyber threat intelligence services.

• Act as an escalation point for all UK security incidents, ensuring incidents are managed in accordance with UK and Group incident management requirements.
• Perform in-depth analysis of security events using a range of security tools.
• Support the wider team in process improvement, detection content tuning and threat analysis.
• Work with Security and Risk colleagues to ensure all identified risks are identified and managed appropriately.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means attending the office, visiting clients or attending industry events.

We are also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

• Hands‑on experience of security incident handling.
• Knowledge of relevant computer forensics, incident response and e‑discovery tools, including EDR, NDR, UEBA, honeypots, data loss prevention, SIEM and log managers.
