What the work looks like

Our honeypots are decoy servers that get attacked around the clock. Each week you go through what they recorded: login attempts, the commands attackers type, the files they try to download. You look for what is new, like a different password list, a new malware dropper or a sudden spike from one network. You write a short note on anything that changed, and pass indicators such as IP addresses and file hashes to Longview and the defensive lessons to the GRC Analyst.

What you’ll do

  • Review scans, credential attempts and payloads hitting our sensors
  • Write up what changed, not what is always there
  • Hand indicators to the Longview team
  • Pass control-relevant observations to your team's GRC Analyst
  • Spend about 20–30 minutes a day reviewing incoming reports with the rest of the team, and flag promising leads to your team lead.

What you’ll bring

  • Familiarity with network traffic, logs or SOC work
  • An eye for what is new versus routine

What you’ll get

  • Published work with your name on it
  • Hands-on time with real investigation tooling and data
  • A path to running your own investigations
