About Raytheon ACS
Raytheon ACS takes a strategic approach to cyber security, enabling organisations to optimise their network security investment while taking a proactive approach to protecting their most important information assets from potential threats. ACS provides organisations with the full life cycle of Information Security Services including SOC operation services, architecture and engineering, assessments, training, as well as technology solutions, implementation and integration.

Our solutions include a combination of software, services and education to help mitigate information security risks that are a part of today's business world. ACS’ Virtual SOC (V-SOC) solution is a next generation approach to traditional managed services. While ensuring all customer data remains on premise at their facilities we use our client's existing security infrastructure and integrate our US patent pending ATIP (Automated Threat Intelligence Platform) to identify critical Indicators of Compromise (IoC). This allows our customers to exploit our expertise and experience where they need it most - in diagnosing and responding to real incidents occurring within their network infrastructure. Our incident response and forensics capabilities are exceptional and are used by many Fortune 500 organisations as well as a range of US Government agencies.

About the position
At ACS, we pride ourselves on having the most highly-skilled Security Professionals in the industry. Regardless of technology or process specialisation, every Analyst is trained in the fundamentals of network security monitoring, investigative process, and incident response, and they must demonstrate mastery of these concepts on a daily basis. Our Analysts learn and do more in one year than most do in five and as a result, often have opportunities to work with customers in varying industries, regions and roles as our analysts progress within the team.
The successful candidate will be responsible for proactive monitoring and threat hunting within Raytheon customer environments, utilising diverse data feeds such as logs, full packet capture and endpoint forensic capabilities. You will be well versed in traditional SIEM incident triage and investigation processes and have a desire to see beyond the alerts and hunt across big data sets searching for anomalies and indicators of attack (IoA).
As an Analyst within the Raytheon ACS VSOC you will already possess expert knowledge of Incident handling and response and be well versed in enterprise security solutions such as IPS/IDS, SIEM, AV and Packet Capture. The successful candidate will have solid knowledge in these areas and be actively looking to expand their skill set to develop towards a more senior or consulting role.
Upon detection of Incidents, you will work with clients to provide clear Incident reports and timelines to enable them to execute successful Incident Response. Where required you will support Raytheon UK’s professional services team, delivering Incident Response/Blue Team services to clients on demand.
You will form part of an elite team within Raytheon UK and therefore will represent Raytheon and it’s interests and be the face of Raytheon to our UK clients. You will therefore deliver clear and accurate incident reports to customers and articulate incident particulars during time sensitive situations.
Successful candidates will also be hands on with investigations and need to be able to present data from investigations to a room of board level executives. Working for Raytheon ACS Security you will be part of a growing team, working alongside world class partner organizations.
Raytheon and ACS take pride in recruiting the best people in the industry. VSOC analysts are no different. Successful candidates will understand not just the theory of what attackers do, but possess the skills to perform attacks themselves to understand the audit trail left behind and how attacks can be detected. The ideal candidate will be an experienced analyst with aspirations for continued professional development, an interest in engaging with other teams and where rarely required, be able work on short term engagements on customer sites in the UK, Middle East and North America.
