Cybersecurity Analyst in Lehi, UT

Cybersecurity Analyst Job Description

Cybersecurity analysts help guard an organization’s digital assets, constantly monitoring for and responding to security threats. Their work involves a blend of hunting for potential threats and reacting to incidents, requiring a keen eye for anomalies and strong problem-solving skills. Cybersecurity analysts must be adept at using a variety of security tools and technologies, from SIEM systems to forensic analysis software. They often act as the bridge between technical security measures and broader organizational policies, helping to translate complex security concepts for nontechnical stakeholders. Continuous learning is essential in this rapidly evolving field, with many analysts pursuing certifications such as Security+, CISSP, or CISA to stay current. Most positions require a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field, with some employers preferring candidates with two to three years of experience in IT or security roles.

Typical duties include:

Designing and implementing robust security architectures for organizational IT systems

Conducting regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing

Developing and maintaining incident response and disaster recovery plans

Implementing and managing security tools such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEM systems

Investigating security breaches and leading incident response efforts

Providing security awareness training to employees across the organization

Ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations
