An SAP Global Security Operations Analyst is a crucial front-line defender and core part of SAP’s digital enterprise. Our Cyber Incident Analysts are responsible for triaging security events detected by security monitoring operations, analyzing all available data to determine severity and priority, doing an initial assessment whether a cyber-attack is occurring, and escalating to a Global Security Operations Investigatory in scoping the extent of a suspected attack, coordinating efforts to contain attacks, and supporting forensic investigation to determine the details around the attack.

The Role:
Our Global Security Operations Analysts are our first line of response for security event and incidents, with a global scope. They are responsible for triaging security alerts detected by Enterprise Detection and SIEM, analyzing available data to determine scope, severity, and priority to determine follow on actions, which could include escalation to a GSO Investigator. In escalation cases, they then work in a supportive capacity to further validate if a cyber-attack is occurring, scoping the extent of a suspected attack, coordinating efforts to contain attacks, supporting forensic investigations to determine the details around an attack, and providing guidance on remediation actions.

In this role, you will not only conduct initial assessment of an attack, but also help scope and determine root cause analysis, support development of attack remediation strategies and coordinate the communication and handling of escalations of security activities. This role also triages operational response processes like those intervening in phishing campaigns. You will also assist in the development of incident handling processes, standard operating procedures, playbooks, and runbooks. Through developing workflow automation, you will help lower response times.

You will work with Enterprise Detection and SIEM teams to make improvements to detection and alerting mechanisms and support forensic investigations to determine incident details and provide supporting evidence.
