Hire Security Analysts

Information security analyst jobs are hyper-strategic positions located at the heart of your company’s defense systems, so it’s imperative that you find the right candidate/s immediately when vacancies crop up. These experts will be responsible for the majority of the organization’s security system, and you’ll also want them to codify an emergency response plan in case of a true cyber-attack. To provide an optimal defense, a senior security analyst needs to be up to date on the current threat landscape at all times – but how can you be certain, when all you see is a resume? Here are a few more duties common to security analyst jobs – you can save this list and refer back when creating job descriptions:

• Install, configure, and update security/encryption software
• Routinely test the security system for weaknesses (penetration testing)
• Monitor and report on security breaches, tracking the extent of damage and any organizational response
• Remain informed about security trends and new cyber security threats

IT security analyst jobs are very demanding roles, and when hiring you want to be sure that your chosen candidates are up to the challenge of the position. This can be difficult when you are not yourself a cyber security analyst, and when you have just a resume to review — for your reference, here is a list of the basic qualifications you’ll want to look for when hiring for security analyst jobs:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a STEM field (computer engineering, etc.)
• Certifications, like Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and others that demonstrate the candidate is actively maintaining their knowledge of the field
• Analytical, logical, and qualitative reasoning aptitude
• Communication and collaboration skills (or “soft skills”)
