Incident Responder - Forensics Specialist

What you do

Are you prepared to tackle cybersecurity's toughest challenges? Join our CERT team as an Incident Responder and safeguard our clients' digital domains from emerging threats. Step up and make an impact!

As an Incident Responder, you play a crucial role in assisting clients in overcoming security incidents efficiently. Your primary responsibility involves responding to emergency calls and providing on‑site support to help the organization get back to business, as quickly and securely as possible.

Every day presents unique challenges for an Incident Responder. When alerted by our emergency line, you swiftly mobilize with a specialized team equipped with CERT cases and forensic tools, arriving at the client's site within a few hours. Upon arrival, you identify and assess the extent of the security incident. Suppose, for instance, customer accounts have been compromised, and sensitive data has been exfiltrated.

In such cases, your team works diligently to mitigate further damage, secure evidence, and compile detailed reports for legal proceedings. Your duties extend beyond containment and remediation; you collaborate with clients to implement tailored security measures, ensuring their swift return to business.

While each day presents unique challenges, the time between incidents offers opportunities for personal development, process refinement, and knowledge sharing within our team and with cyber security experts from other departments.

Join our dynamic CERT team with skilled Incident Responders, coordinators, and leaders committed to continuous improvement. Collaborate on‑site with cross‑functional teams, dedicated to resolving client‑specific challenges. Share insights and expertise to strengthen our collective capabilities, serving clients across Europe.
