JOB SUMMARY

Do you have a unique mix of private industry and US government cybersecurity experience?

Are you passionate about working side-by-side with others to protect critical infrastructure from advanced cyber attacks?

Do you enjoy formulating new cybersecurity detections to defeat nation-state threats in complex environments?

Southern Company is seeking an experienced and passionate technical analyst to join our Technology Security organization.

• Ability to prioritize and execute tasks with nominal oversight
• Experience investigating and analyzing cyber threats
• Experience with threat hunting or detection engineering in a SOC environment
