Information Security Analyst

Location - This role is hybrid with a mix of remote and in-person. Work primarily takes place at North Campus, Edmonton. The Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), part of Information Services and Technology (IST), leads information security for the University of Alberta. The team develops security policies and procedures, identifies and mitigates cybersecurity risks, monitors network infrastructure, responds to security incidents, and delivers training and awareness programs that help staff and students stay safe online. As a member of the Office of the CISO, you'll be on the front line defending the University's data, research, and systems against real-world threats. Reporting to the Manager, Information Security, the Information Security Analyst is responsible for the operation, investigation, and enforcement of IT and information security systems and policy for the University. You will work with a wide range of technologies, including next-generation firewalls, anti-malware systems, remote access, privileged access management, network security monitoring, deception technologies, incident response, and vulnerability management tools, to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of University data and technical resources and to enable secure research. You'll also be a trusted voice for cybersecurity across campus: delivering presentations, sharing security expertise with faculties, departments, and units, and contributing to campus-wide security initiatives. If you enjoy solving real security problems, explaining complex ideas to a wide range of audiences, and growing in an energetic, professional team, we'd love to hear from you.
