CERT Analyst 

An organisation is under attack: they urgently need your expertise and assistance to help them recover. 

Your mission 

• Analyse the technical surveys carried out in order to identify the attackers’ modus operandi and objective, and to assess the level of threat. 
• Provide, via an investigation report, remediation recommendations to ensure the attacked systems can be remediated and hardened. 
• Recommend measures to circumvent and remedy the incident (remediation and hardening). 
• Monitor new vulnerabilities, new technologies and attack methods relating to IS components, and develop investigation tools. 

Your projects 

More specifically, here are some of the projects you could take on… 

• Join the incident response team set up by CERT Advens to assist a hospital that has fallen victim to ransomware. 
• The management of an industrial company asks you to assist its crisis unit. 
• Carry out a digital investigation to find the origin of an attack and identify the attacker’s TTPs. 
• Together with a CISO and the IT department, rebuild a compromised information system. 

So, is this the job for you? 

• Imagine a firefighter confronted with a burning building: that’s you when a company under attack calls you for help! 
• You are quick to react. When a company calls, you are already on your way! 
• You are able to handle difficult situations, reassure clients, manage pressure and create a sense of calm around you. 
• One of your strengths is teaching: you like explaining situations, procedures for blocking attacks, what will be put in place to prevent it from happening again, etc. 
• You monitor the situation on a daily basis, which allows you to understand how to react. 
• Why work alone when you can do it as a team? 
• You are extremely rigorous. 
• Keeping up to date with cyber news is an essential part of your daily routine. 
• Passionate about security and all its challenges, you want to join a dynamic company that brings meaning to its projects.
