Lead Security Analyst

OpenText is a global leader in information management, known for its culture of innovation, creativity, and collaboration. The Cyber Security team seeks a Detection Management Analyst to strengthen our security posture through threat hunting, forensics, detection engineering, and AI integration.

Opportunity

You will develop and maintain advanced detection rules across SIEM and endpoint platforms, conduct forensic investigations, and drive threat hunting initiatives. Your work will include integrating AI / ML to enhance threat visibility and reduce analyst workload.

Threat Hunting

  • Proactively identify threats by analyzing telemetry, logs, and behavioral patterns across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments.
  • Use frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK to map adversary behavior and uncover novel attack techniques.
  • Collaborate with Threat Intelligence teams to enrich hunting hypotheses and detection logic.

Detection Engineering

  • Design, implement, and maintain detection rules and use cases in SIEM and EDR platforms.
  • Continuously tune and validate detection logic to reduce false positives and improve signal fidelity.
  • Build automated pipelines for rule deployment, testing, and version control using CI / CD principles.
  • Forensics

  • Conduct deep‑dives into security incidents, including malware analysis, memory forensics, and disk analysis.
  • Preserve and analyze evidence to support incident response and post‑mortem reviews.
  • Document findings and contribute to knowledge bases and playbooks.
  • AI Integration

  • Apply AI / ML models to enhance anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, and threat prediction.
  • Collaborate with data science teams to develop and operationalize models supporting detection use cases.
  • Evaluate and integrate AI‑powered security tools to improve coverage and reduce analyst workload.
  • Additional Responsibilities

  • Lead maturity and scalability of the Detection Management program across global environments.
  • Drive continuous improvement of detection capabilities through automation, threat intelligence, and cross‑functional collaboration.
  • Support security integration during mergers and acquisitions, including tool rationalization and process alignment.
  • Develop dashboards and metrics to measure detection effectiveness and program health.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Stay current with emerging threats, technologies, and industry best practices.
  • Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years in cybersecurity operations with hands‑on experience in threat hunting, detection engineering, and digital forensics.
  • Strong understanding of SIEM, EDR, and log aggregation platforms.
  • Experience with scripting languages (Python, PowerShell) and automation frameworks.
  • Familiarity with AI / ML concepts and their application in cybersecurity.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Compensation & Benefits

    Salary Range : $97,090.00 – $147,090.00 (varies by education, experience, skills, and location).

    Benefits include vacation entitlement, paid time off, and variable and commission compensation opportunities for eligible roles.
