• Working operationally with security incidents when necessary and providing support during complex incidents.

• Supporting risk analysis processes by quantifying and describing the security risks arising from misconfigurations or insufficient coverage in the XDR services.

• Reporting on compliance and progress within the XDR services.

Who are you? You are analytical, structured, and have the ability to see both the big picture while not overlooking the details. You thrive in a role where you can take responsibility, drive initiatives, and collaborate with others. We see that you have;

• experience and good knowledge in cyber/IT security

• experience from security work based on business requirements such as risk analysis, information classification, and incident management.

• a good ability to reason about technical cybersecurity from a holistic perspective.

It is an advantage if you have a university degree in computer engineering or information technology, as well as IT security-related technical certifications from ISACA, SANS, OSSTMM.

You have a good ability to communicate in Swedish and English in both speech and writing. You may have experience in conducting training and lectures. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities and are looking for someone who is proactive, self-driven, and accustomed to taking responsibility. What do we offer you? You will be part of an engaged team where collaboration, innovation, and a balance between work and private life are important values. We care about your work environment, which is why you will work in a team with partially overlapping responsibilities.
