The Cybersecurity Investigator plays a critical role in protecting BlueScope North America's information assets by monitoring, investigating, containing, and responding to cybersecurity threats. The position serves as an experienced Security Operations Center analyst and escalation resource for complex security events affecting enterprise, cloud, identity, email, endpoint, network, and operational technology environments.

The Cybersecurity Investigator applies strong analytical judgment, technical investigation skills, and incident response experience to determine the scope, impact, and root cause of suspicious activity. The role collaborates with regional and global technology teams, supports continuous improvement of detection and response capabilities, and communicates findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key Focus Areas

Security Monitoring & Investigations

• Monitor and investigate security events and alerts from SIEM, endpoint detection and response, identity, email, cloud, network, and other cybersecurity technologies.
• Perform advanced triage and analysis of suspicious activity, potential policy violations, and confirmed security incidents.
• Analyze endpoint, identity, application, cloud, and network telemetry to determine incident scope, impact, and likely root cause.
• Correlate security telemetry, threat intelligence, and contextual information to distinguish malicious activity from expected business operations.
• Document investigative actions, evidence, findings, and conclusions in a clear and repeatable manner.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex or high-risk investigations and provide guidance to less-experienced analysts.

Incident Response

• Coordinate and perform incident response activities, including identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
• Investigate phishing, malware, ransomware, account compromise, insider threat, unauthorized access, data loss, and other cybersecurity events.

• Develop, maintain, and improve incident response playbooks, investigation procedures, and escalation workflows.
• Coordinate remediation activities with infrastructure, identity, application, cloud, networking, legal, human resources, and business stakeholders.
• Provide timely status updates and clearly communicate incident risk, business impact, decisions, and required actions.

Threat Detection & Threat Hunting

• Conduct proactive threat hunting to identify suspicious behaviors or indicators that may not generate traditional security alerts.
• Use the MITRE ATT&CK framework and threat intelligence to evaluate adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures.
• Recommend and help develop detection use cases, correlation rules, hunting queries, dashboards, and investigation workflows.
• Tune detections to improve fidelity, reduce unnecessary alert volume, and strengthen coverage of relevant threats.
• Validate security controls and detections through investigative feedback, testing, and lessons learned from incidents.

Security Operations Improvement

• Identify recurring investigation patterns and recommend opportunities for automation, orchestration, and process improvement.
• Develop and maintain operational metrics, case reporting, and trend analysis for security monitoring and incident response activities.
• Contribute to security operations procedures, knowledge articles, and analyst training materials.
• Support major incident exercises, tabletop exercises, and continuous improvement activities.
• Assist with cybersecurity assessments, audit requests, and risk-reduction initiatives as needed.

Collaboration & Communication

• Collaborate with global and regional security, infrastructure, networking, identity, application, cloud, and operational technology teams.
• Prepare clear investigation reports, incident summaries, and executive-ready communications appropriate to the audience.
• Share investigative knowledge, mentor developing analysts, and promote consistent security operations practices.
• Build effective relationships with internal stakeholders and external security service providers.
