Threat Hunter

WarCollar Industries is seeking a highly motivated Cyber Threat Hunter to proactively identify, investigate, and mitigate sophisticated cyber threats across a large-scale enterprise environment. This role is ideal for a security professional who enjoys going beyond traditional alert response to uncover adversary activity, develop hunting hypotheses, and identify previously undetected threats.

The Cyber Threat Hunter will leverage hypothesis-based hunting methodologies, including HMM-4, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to analyze adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The position offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals across endpoint security, network operations, offensive security, threat intelligence, cloud engineering, and data science.

Required Skills

Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts using HMM-4 methodologies and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Develop and refine threat-hunting hypotheses using threat intelligence, internal security data, and analysis of adversary TTPs.

Analyze security telemetry from SIEM, EDR, network traffic, endpoint systems, cloud environments, logs, and other enterprise data sources.

Identify indicators of compromise, anomalous activity, and emerging attack patterns that may indicate malicious activity.

Perform detailed investigations to determine the scope, impact, root cause, and potential business risk associated with identified threats.

Map observed adversary activity to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and identify gaps in existing defensive coverage.

Collaborate with endpoint, network, offensive security, threat intelligence, cloud, and data science teams to develop a comprehensive understanding of threats.

Document investigative objectives, hunting methodologies, findings, and investigative progress.

Develop detailed reports and communicate technical findings, risk assessments, and remediation recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.

Recommend and develop enhanced detections and defensive measures when gaps are identified.

Stay current on emerging threats, attack techniques, vulnerabilities, security technologies, and industry best practices.

Contribute to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement of enterprise threat-hunting capabilities.
