Role Description:

Sitting within the Monitoring and Threat Detection sub-function, the 'Cybersecurity Threat Hunter' role is primarily charged with proactively searching through the HSBC global estate for evidence of malicious activities in our systems and on our networks and finding ways to illuminate behaviours that have managed to evade current defences.

Acting in coordination with GCO staff to lead the development and implementation of an advanced analysis and search capability focused on identifying potentially sophisticated APT and insider threat activities within the organisation.
Leveraging a 'cyber intelligence led approach' to researching new and existing threat actors and associated tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs); developing a detailed understanding of their potential impact to the organisation, providing, developing and implementing recommended solutions for improving our defensive and detective capability.
Collaboration with Cybersecurity functions, e.g. Red Team, Cyberthreat Intelligence to develop hypotheses for the detection and/or presence of new attack techniques and evasion methods.
Coordinating threat hunting activities, leveraging intelligence from multiple internal and external sources.
Reviewing incident and penetration testing reports and corresponding logs, to identify gaps in our detection capability and provide recommendations to improve them.
Providing expert analytic investigative support on large scale and complex security incidents.
Contributing to the continued evolution of hunting, monitoring, detection, analysis and response capabilities and processes
Training, mentoring and inspiring colleagues across the function and strengthening Cybersecurity Operations capabilities.
