Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst

The Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst will drive forward specific intelligence types (tactical, operational and strategic) dependent on the tertiary team’s focus within the Threat Intelligence team. The resultant threat intelligence will be disseminated to a diverse array of intelligence consumers within Admiral Group. Deliverables based on their intelligence type can range from the novel detection of adversarial attack paths to SOC analysts to the application of machine learning technology for example, DeepFakes, to inform the business of emerging threats.
