Job Title: Senior Information Security Analyst

Mode of Work: Hybrid (3 days in office)

Shift Timings: 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM IST

SUMMARY OF POSITION AND OBJECTIVES:

Join the Deception team and be at the forefront of proactive cybersecurity defense. This role involves designing, deploying, and maintaining deceptive technology across the Eurofins environment. You will be instrumental in creating realistic traps and lures—including honeypots, honeytokens, and decoy systems—to achieve early threat actor detection, observe their behaviors, and provide high-fidelity alerts to the security operations team. This is a hands-on technical position for individuals who thrive on thinking like an attacker, devising clever bait, and turning adversaries' curiosity into their undoing.

POSITION & OBJECTIVES:

• Design and deploy deception assets across the Eurofins environment (e.g., Honeypots, honeytokens, decoy credentials, fake databases).
• Build tailored deception layers for various environments: endpoint, cloud, network, identity, and application layers.
• Integrate deception events into the broader detection pipeline (SIEM, SOAR, EDR) for rapid alerting and enrichment.
• Develop and maintain custom honeypots or tune commercial deception platforms as required.
• Collaborate with threat intelligence and red team teams to simulate attacker behavior and ensure deception realism.
• Continuously test and validate deception effectiveness, ensuring decoys are believable, well-placed, and invisible to legitimate users.
• Monitor and analyze attacker interactions within deceptive environments to extract TTPs and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).
• Assist in post-incident analysis by providing threat behavior insights derived from deception triggers.
• Document deception deployment strategies, playbooks, and incident enrichment data.
• Research and evaluate new deception techniques and tools to enhance capability maturity.

Technical Knowledge:

• Strong understanding of cyber deception concepts: honeypots, honeytokens, honeycreds, decoy systems, canary files, etc.
• Experience with deception frameworks or commercial solutions (e.g., Thinkst Canary, Illusive Networks, Cymmetria, TrapX, Acalvio, OpenCanary).
• Solid grasp of network protocols, Windows/Linux internals, and Active Directory.
• Experience integrating deception 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.
• Ability to think offensively while building defensive systems (red/purple team experience is a plus).
• Scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and custom decoy development.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with detection engineers, threat hunters, and incident responders.

Personal Qualities:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills (concise writing and oral convincing).
• Eager to learn and continuously develop personal and technical capabilities.
• Excellent interpersonal, analytical, detail-oriented, and problem-solving skills.
• Proactive personality adaptable to changing priorities with a keen analytical mindset for investigations.
• A good team player capable of collaborating with globally distributed teams.

What we offer:

• An opportunity to grow within a demanding, fast-growing organization.
• A highly attractive, multicultural, and friendly work environment in a rapidly expanding international company (over 65,000 employees).
• The possibility for professional growth and self-development.
• A launchpad into various opportunities across Eurofins' global business lines.
• A chance to become part of a highly motivated international team of professionals.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

• BE/B.Tech/MCA or any equivalent degree.
• 4+ years of incremental experience in Cybersecurity.
