Senior Information Security Analyst

About the Role

Join Eurofins' Deception team as a Senior Information Security Analyst and be at the forefront of proactive cybersecurity defense. In this hands-on technical role, you will be instrumental in designing, deploying, and maintaining advanced deceptive technology across the Eurofins environment. Your mission will involve creating sophisticated traps and lures, including honeypots, honeytokens, and decoy systems, to detect threat actors early, observe their Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and provide high-fidelity alerts to the Security Operations team. If you enjoy thinking like an attacker, crafting intelligent bait, and turning adversary curiosity into their downfall, this is the opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deploy a variety of deception assets, such as honeypots, honeytokens, decoy credentials, and fake databases, throughout the Eurofins infrastructure.
• Build specialized deception layers tailored for diverse environments, including endpoints, cloud, networks, identities, and application layers.
• Integrate deception event data into the broader security detection pipeline, including SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms, to facilitate rapid alerting and data enrichment.
• Develop and maintain custom honeypots, or fine-tune commercial deception platforms as required.
• Collaborate closely with threat intelligence and red team professionals to simulate attacker behavior and ensure the realism and effectiveness of deception measures.
• Continuously test and validate the effectiveness of deception deployments, ensuring decoys are believable, strategically placed, and undetectable to legitimate users.
• Monitor and analyze attacker interactions within deceptive environments to extract valuable TTPs and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).
• Provide crucial threat behavior insights from deception triggers to support post-incident analysis.
• Document comprehensive deception deployment strategies, operational playbooks, and incident enrichment data.
• Research and evaluate emerging deception techniques and tools to continuously enhance capability maturity.

Technical Expertise

• Possess a strong understanding of core cyber deception concepts, including honeypots, honeytokens, honeycreds, decoy systems, and canary files.
• Demonstrate experience with deception frameworks or commercial solutions (e.g., Thinkst Canary, Illusive Networks, Cymmetria, TrapX, Acalvio, OpenCanary).
• Exhibit a solid grasp of network protocols, Windows/Linux internals, and Active Directory.
• Show experience integrating deception technologies with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Elastic, QRadar) and SOAR systems.
• Familiarity with attacker TTPs, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and threat actor behavior patterns is essential.
• Capability to think offensively while building defensive systems; red/purple team experience is a significant advantage.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and custom decoy development.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with detection engineers, threat hunters, and incident responders.

Personal Attributes

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex information concisely and persuasively.
• A strong eagerness to learn and a commitment to continuous personal and technical development.
• Outstanding interpersonal, analytical, detail-oriented, and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive personality capable of adapting to shifting priorities, coupled with a keen analytical mindset for thorough case investigations.
• A collaborative team player adept at working with globally distributed teams.

• A highly attractive, multicultural, and friendly work environment within a fast-growing international company with over 65,000 employees worldwide.
• The possibility for significant career advancement and self-development.
• A strategic launchpad offering diverse opportunities across Eurofins' many global business lines.
