  • Monitor and analyse Command and Control (C2) infrastructures, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and malicious domains.
  • Map observed threat activity to known frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK) and produce structured intelligence using formats such as STIX/TAXII.

Support:

  • Provide Threat Intelligence research and contextual analysis to support Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and Security Operations (SOC) teams.
  • Combine technical investigations with geopolitical and regional context to deliver comprehensive, context-rich assessments.
  • Respond to internal and external Requests for Information (RFI), offering timely, actionable intelligence.

Collaboration and Information Sharing:

  • Partner with internal teams, external partners, industry peers, and intelligence-sharing communities to enhance the organisation's threat landscape awareness.
  • Engage in information-sharing forums and maintain current knowledge of emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and threat actor trends.

Tool Management:

  • Manage and optimise threat intelligence platforms, sources, and feeds to improve analysis efficiency
  • Evaluate and recommend new tools or platforms to strengthen the Threat Intelligence function's capabilities.


Technical Skills:

  • Experience in Threat Intelligence analysis, ideally with experience in APT research, C2 tracking, and emerging geopolitical threats.
  • • Strong understanding of networking protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, DNS).
  • • Familiarity with the Cyber Threat Intelligence lifecycle and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the use of STIX/TAXII.
  • • Understanding of offensive security reconnaissance and attacker methodologies
  • • Experience assisting or interfacing with DFIR, IR, and SOC teams.
  • Qualifications (desired but not required):
  • • A bachelor's or master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Information Security.
  • • Certifications such as SANS FOR578 (Cyber Threat Intelligence) or CREST Threat Intelligence Analyst (CRTIA).

From incident response and network security to cloud protections and zero-trust architectures, cyber security professionals tackle an ever-evolving array of challenges. Yet, even this mission-critical field is not immune to economic turbulence. When broader financial markets experience uncertainty—whether through global recessions, regional downturns, or unexpected macro events—the hiring climate can shift, making roles more selective and budgets tighter. For job seekers in cyber security, this can be disconcerting. You might discover that once-abundant vacancies have become scarce, competition for the remaining positions is fiercer, or company priorities pivot away from large-scale expansions toward essential, cost-justified security projects. At the same time, data breaches and cyberattacks don’t pause during economic slowdowns—if anything, they may escalate as bad actors exploit organizational vulnerabilities. This paradox means that while the market feels tough, demand for cyber security expertise remains robust. In this article, we’ll look at: Why economic uncertainty affects cyber security hiring trends. Strategies for staying competitive, even if the number of open roles shrinks. Methods to highlight your skills, adapt to shifting priorities, and network effectively. Approaches for preserving mental well-being during prolonged searches or uncertain feedback loops. How www.cybersecurityjobs.tech can help you find the ideal security-focused role. By proactively sharpening your skill set, tailoring your professional profile, and engaging with a focused community, you can secure a rewarding cyber security job—even when the broader market feels volatile.
