Thales is looking for a Senior Analyst, Advanced Security Response Team (ASRT), who will work with a team which is dedicated to providing first response to security incidents and focused on the operational aspects of web application security: analyzing threats, suggesting direct methods of remediation and mitigation, and actively working to block attacks in real time.
In this customer-facing role, you will continuously interact with customers to mitigate security attacks while creating long lasting relationships through your technical expertise and engagement. Manage technical escalations, and work closely with Product and CS teams for our application security products (Value Added-Services, Dev, Support, Security, Sr. Management) in order to get issues resolved.
You will be a technical authority of Imperva’s Application Security suite, while constantly improving best practices for solutions and services. You will work closely with Management to implement and expand the global Advanced Security Response program.
