Position description

As a Threat Intelligence Analyst at JPMorgan Chase within the Cybersecurity Technology and Controls, Cybersecurity Intelligence Group, you play an essential role in defending the firm against sophisticated cyber threats. Doing so will require you to investigate advanced threat actors, conduct proactive research on emerging threats, and generate forward-looking assessments to guide decision making at the highest levels. You’ll use your subject matter expertise to give guidance, best practices, and support to business and technology stakeholders during the deployment of critical business and technology initiatives. You’ll support threat analysis, incident response, and risk reviews, all of which drive cost-effective solutioning. As part of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s global team of technologists and innovators, your work will have a massive impact, both on us as a company, as well as our clients and our business partners around the world. 

The Cybersecurity Intelligence Group (CIG) holds the global mandate for JPMC’s cyber intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination of finished products to the firm’s Cybersecurity & Technology Controls teams, lines of business, and overall executive decision makers.
