The Role:
The Advanced Cyber Threat Analyst is a technical specialist within Security Operations. The role identifies, investigates and responds to cyber threats while continuously strengthening M&G’s defensive capabilities.
The role combines advanced incident investigation, intelligence-led threat hunting, detection engineering and AI-assisted analysis. The analyst uses evidence and professional judgement to assess threat, coordinate and action proportionate response and translate investigative findings into lasting security improvements.
Working across cloud, endpoint, identity, email and network technologies, the role collaborates closely with Threat Intelligence, Security Operations Engineering, internal stakeholders and external security service providers to improve resilience and reduce cyber risk.
Main Responsibilities:
- Investigate complex security incidents across cloud, endpoint, identity, email and network environments.
- Assess the potential business impact of incidents and recommend proportionate containment, remediation and recovery actions.
- Maintain accurate investigative records, evidence and decision rationales throughout the incident lifecycle.
- Conduct intelligence-led threat hunts based on adversary campaigns, behaviours, tactics, techniques and procedures.
- Identify attack paths, security weaknesses, detection gaps and opportunities to strengthen M&G’s security posture.
- Translate investigation, threat hunting and threat intelligence findings into improved detections, controls and response processes.
- Develop, tune and validate analytical rules to ensure they remain effective against evolving threats and reduce unnecessary alert activity.
- Work with Security Operations Engineering to improve telemetry, data quality, detection coverage, tooling integrations and automated workflows.
- Use AI-assisted analysis and advanced analytics to support triage, investigation, threat hunting, detection engineering and reporting.
