Employment: Full Time
Introduction
Information and Data are some of the most important organizational assets in today’s businesses. As a Security Consultant, you will be a key advisor for IBM’s clients, analyzing business requirements to design and implement the best security solutions for their needs. You will apply your technical skills to find the balance between enabling and securing the client’s organization with the cognitive solutions that are making IBM the fastest growing enterprise security business in the world.
Your Role and Responsibilities
IBM X-Force IRIS (Incident Response and Intelligence Services) is growing. We are looking for talented people across Middle East to work in our flagship Incident Response and Proactive Services team. In IRIS, our mission is to offer assistance and advice to our clients whenever they have an incident. We help our clients identify, contain and control the threats and to enable them to return to business-as-usual as efficiently and effectively as possible. When not responding to incidents, we actively help our clients prepare themselves by providing a number of proactive services. These proactive services are our second mission: we enable our clients to reduce the likelihood of an incident and the need to call the IRIS team for assistance. Our services are ever growing, but include such things as first responder training, on-site table-top exercises (TTXs) and threat hunting operations. All of our team members are incident responders. We work both on-site and remotely to provide the IRIS services to our clients across Middle East. We work closely with our client as ‘trusted advisors’ during what are usually difficult and complex periods for them.
