Job Description Justification: The resource will directly contribute to the Innovation's Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) initiatives, including enhancing prevention, detection, response and recovery efforts through various technical and operational methods; to reduce the mean time to detection and response of cybersecurity events experienced in municipal networks while improving process efficiencies. The resource will work with cyber professionals and information sharing partners to build tools and integrations that enable threat analysts and incident responders to more efficiently respond to various cyber security events. Without this resource, CTI will be unable to onboard any additional intelligence sources into its internal threat intelligence platform (ODIN) and, should existing connectors require updates, will be unable to continue using these parsers / connectors. As a result, CTI will be unable to meet certain BAU requirements and OOMs. Work Location: Select one and provide required details: Scheduled Work Hours: Normal business hours Monday-Friday 35 hours/week (not including mandatory unpaid meal break after 6 hours of work).
