Senior DFIR Analyst

  • Melbourne, Vic

Our client is a fast-growing cyber security consultancy across Australia and New Zealand. They are building the Australian arm of their Digital Forensics and Incident Response practice.

They have an immediate need for a Senior DFIR Analyst in a permanent role, with a choice of city across Australia.

You will work on live investigations alongside an established DFIR team across the Tasman, and lead smaller engagements end to end.

The role

  • Lead smaller incident response engagements from scoping to final report
  • Respond to ransomware, business email compromise, malware and insider threat cases
  • Collect and preserve evidence; run host, memory and log analysis
  • Hunt with Velociraptor and contain with EDR such as CrowdStrike or Defender for Endpoint
  • Write clear findings and reports for technical and non-technical readers

This is hands-on investigation, not alert monitoring.

What you'll need to succeed;

  • About 3 to 5 years hands-on in DFIR
  • Hands-on with EDR and forensic tooling
  • Clear written reports for technical and non-technical readers
  • Eligible for an Australian Baseline security clearance and able to pass a police check
  • GCFA, GCFE, GCIH, CCFR or SC-200 advantageous; proven experience counts more
  • Python or PowerShell scripting, and Microsoft 365 or cloud investigations, are a plus

Suitably skilled candidates are encouraged to apply with an achievement-based CV.
