Cyber Threat Intelligence Research Analyst

About the role

We’re looking for a Cyber Threat Intelligence Research Analyst who can bridge two worlds: deep cybersecurity expertise and clear, authoritative communication. In this role, you will analyze real-world threats, uncover emerging attacker behaviors, and translate complex technical findings into high-impact reports, briefs, and articles that educate and empower cybersecurity professionals.

Responsibilities

• Monitor, analyze, and report on emerging threats, indicators of compromise (IOCs), tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and global threat trends.
• Investigate vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malware behavior, ransomware campaigns, and exploit chains.
• Conduct independent research on threat actors, intrusion patterns, and security gaps relevant to our customer base.
• Collaborate with internal engineering, SOC, and threat teams to access proprietary intelligence and validate findings.
• Transform threat research into high-quality reports, whitepapers, blogs, briefs, advisories, and thought-leadership content.
• Write in a way that resonates with cybersecurity professionals, executives, and IT leaders.
• Develop clear visuals, diagrams, and technical explanations to support complex research.
• Ensure all content is technically rigorous, original, and aligned with our Zero Trust security philosophy.
• Work with the SVP of Brand Marketing to shape the company’s editorial direction on threat intelligence topics.
• Support media, PR, and analyst engagements with accurate intelligence and expert insights.
• Participate in webinars, research discussions, and cross-team reviews to maintain accuracy and consistency.
• Help position the company as a trusted voice in cybersecurity through data-driven storytelling.

Requirements

• 5+ years in cybersecurity research, threat intelligence, security engineering, SOC analysis, or malware analysis.
• Strong knowledge of attacker TTPs, MITRE ATT&CK, malware behavior, incident response, and threat hunting workflows.
• Hands-on familiarity with tools such as SIEMs, sandboxes, EDR platforms, packet analyzers, and OSINT frameworks.
• Ability to read logs, investigate incidents, and interpret technical artifacts.
• Proven experience writing technical reports, threat advisories, security research, or cybersecurity analysis.
• Ability to translate complex material into clear, concise content without losing technical accuracy.
• Strong editorial judgment and an understanding of narrative clarity and structure.
• Deep curiosity and a research-driven mindset.
• Commitment to accuracy, integrity, and evidence-backed analysis.
• Able to juggle multiple research topics while meeting publishing deadlines.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to work across engineering, security, and marketing teams.
