TL;DR · Specialist, Network Security Analyst

Specialist, Network Security Analyst joins the Network Security Strategy & Analysis team within the ISO Infrastructure Security group. This role focuses on utilizing network, security, asset, configuration, and vulnerability data to identify risks, quantify technical debt, and evaluate control effectiveness to drive environmental hardening. The analyst will collect and correlate data from SIEM, firewall, proxy, ZTNA, NAC, and identity sources to build repeatable analytics, dashboards, and reports measuring security posture. Key responsibilities include identifying insecure access paths, managing a technical-debt inventory, and translating findings into risk statements for leadership. Required skills include proficiency in Splunk, SQL, Python, or PowerShell for data manipulation; knowledge of NIST and ISO 27000 standards; and experience with network concepts like IP addressing, VLANs, and routing. The role addresses complex security challenges involving segmentation, Zero Trust, and infrastructure modernization.

What you'll do

  • Analyze network, security, asset, and vulnerability data to identify risks and quantify technical debt.
  • Translate complex data into validated findings, prioritized recommendations, and measurable risk-reduction actions.
  • Build repeatable analytics, queries, dashboards, and reports to measure network security posture and control coverage.
  • Identify unmanaged assets, insecure access paths, and configuration weaknesses within the infrastructure.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to validate findings and establish accountable remediation plans.
  • Support strategy work for NAC, segmentation, Zero Trust, and firewall modernization initiatives.
  • Translate analytical findings into concise risk statements and presentations for technical and leadership audiences.
  • Automate recurring data preparation, quality checks, and reporting processes where practical.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, or equivalent experience in related fields.
  • Applied experience in cybersecurity, network engineering, security analytics, risk analysis, or a related technical discipline.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to produce defensible conclusions from inconsistent enterprise data.
  • Experience developing queries, dashboards, metrics, or reports using security and technology data.
  • Knowledge of information security tools, processes, NIST/ISO 27000 standards, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust concepts.
  • Proficiency in SQL, Python, PowerShell, or comparable methods for data manipulation, correlation, and automation.
  • Experience with SIEM platforms (Splunk), firewall, proxy, ZTNA, NAC, and network telemetry.
  • Security, networking, analytics, cloud, Splunk, Zscaler, or GIAC certification (preferred); experience in large enterprise environments (preferred).
