Security Analyst Team Leader

Summary

Data has never been more valuable and vulnerable. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and regulations more strict, organizations struggle to answer one key question: “Is my data safe?

At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out. We’ve built the industry’s first fully autonomous Data Security Platform to help our customers dramatically reduce risk with minimal human effort.

At Varonis, we move fast. We’re an ultra-collaborative company with brilliant people who care deeply about the details. Together, we’re solving interesting and complex puzzles to keep the world’s data safe.

We work in a flexible, hybrid model, so you can choose the home-office balance that works best for you.

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Security Analyst Team Leader. Your primary responsibility will be to lead a team dedicated to combating email threats. This involves managing and overseeing experienced analysts who specialize in researching and implementing threat detection heuristics, as well as guiding junior analysts responsible for labeling. Key tasks include defining behavior-based risk indicators, serving as the email security SME (subject matter expert) for the Data Science team, and researching innovative phishing detection techniques. You will play a crucial role in building something from scratch.
