CANARIE connects Canada to the world. Our programs equip researchers, students, and startups in Canada to excel on the global stage.

Together with our 13 provincial and territorial partners, we form Canada’s National Research and Education Network (NREN). This ultra-high-speed network connects Canada’s researchers, educators, and innovators to each other and to global data, technology, and colleagues.

To strengthen the security of Canada’s research and education sector, we collaborate with our partners in the NREN, government, academia, and the private sector to fund, implement, and support cybersecurity initiatives. We also provide identity management services to the academic community and boost Canada’s startups with cloud resources and expertise in emerging technologies.

Established in 1993, CANARIE is a non-profit corporation, with most of our funding provided by the Government of Canada.

**Who We Are**:
We’re a small team of dedicated thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers. Our team is positive, passionate, and collaborative.

We work with Canada’s higher-ed community, private sector, and government partners to ensure that Canada’s bright researchers and entrepreneurs benefit from the technologies and tools that are critical to their success. Together with our partners across the country, we work to ensure that Canada leads in research and innovation.

**Securing Canada’s Research and Education Sector**:
The National Research and Education Network (NREN) is working collaboratively to design and deploy a federated Security Operations Centre, referred to as CanSSOC. CanSSOC will leverage and integrate existing investments and initiatives across NREN partners, CANARIE, and post-secondary institutions to develop Security Operations Centre (SOC) capabilities that will support the effective detection and response of cybersecurity threats critical to managing and reducing the growing cybersecurity risk targeting the sector.

**The Position: Cybersecurity Analyst**:
The Cybersecurity Analyst, working within CanSSOC, will be accountable for monitoring and delivering timely, relevant threat intelligence, investigating events and incidents, and providing technical guidance and support to partners within the community.

This is a full-time, permanent position that reports to CANARIE’s Director, Cybersecurity Services Innovation. The Cybersecurity Analyst will work with a federated team of analysts across Canada.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Collaborating with partners to monitor and analyze security events and incidents, providing incident response support, risk management, proposing mitigations, and supporting user awareness.
- Identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities and collaborating with stakeholders to ensure they are understood and triaged effectively.
- Reviewing threat intelligence to provide effective threat reporting to partner organizations.
- Reviewing events and alerts from various security platforms and providing analysis, trending, and insights.
- Developing training material and process documentation on relevant security platforms.
- Onboarding new academic institutions as members to relevant platforms and initiatives, conducting health-checks, and proactively alerting customers to impending operational issues.
- Travel may occasionally be required.
- Other related duties and responsibilities, as required.

You have excellent oral and written communication skills, and can count time management, problem solving, and managing multiple priorities as your strengths. You also share a dedication to CANARIE’s core values: service, teamwork, inclusion, innovation, quality, and integrity.
