Original posting from ABC Legal Services

About ABC Legal Services:

ABC Legal Services is proud to be the national leader in service of process. We are a team of 1000 and growing with offices in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Brooklyn, Chicago, Washington DC, and more. Seattle is our home and headquarters. We’ve been successful in this unique business for over 30 years and we continue to advance our technology and business processes to remain years ahead of what our competition is able to offer. Our focus is to expand our technology lead, acquire and integrate less efficient competitors, and tap into new segments through an integrated inbound marketing and sales approach.

Job Overview:

ABC Legal Services is adding a Security Analyst I to its IT team. This is an early career role for someone who already has security work under their belt and wants to own more of it. 

You will work directly with the IT Manager and the System Administrator team on the day to day security operations that keep the company safe: alert triage, access reviews, endpoint compliance, vulnerability remediation, and audit evidence. You will not be expected to arrive knowing our environment. You will be expected to already know how to work an alert. 

We are a small team, so you will see the whole picture rather than one narrow slice of it.

What you’ll do

Security operations (your core work) 

Triage detections in CrowdStrike Falcon, escalating what needs a second set of eyes 

Work in the Falcon console daily: detections, host containment, policy and sensor health, and detection tuning as you ramp 

Review Entra ID sign in and audit logs for suspicious authentication activity 

Investigate user reported phishing and take action on malicious mail 

Work the vulnerability queue: track findings, chase remediation, report on progress 

Run recurring access reviews across Microsoft Entra ID and flag anything that looks wrong 

Identity and endpoint support 

Partner with the System Administrator team on Conditional Access and MFA policy 

Monitor device compliance and encryption status in Intune (Windows) and Iru (macOS) 

Help remediate configuration and patch drift across the fleet 

Compliance and documentation 

Collect and organize evidence for audits and client security requirements 

Help complete security questionnaires 

Document procedures in Confluence and track your work in Jira 

User security 

Help run phishing simulations and security awareness training 

Be an approachable point of contact when someone is not sure whether something is safe 

What you bring 

2 or more years in IT, including at least 1 year of hands on security work. That security year can be a dedicated security role or security responsibilities carried inside a broader IT job 

Direct experience with an EDR platform. CrowdStrike Falcon preferred, and experience with Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, or similar transfers 

Practical experience triaging security alerts and working an investigation to a conclusion 

Working familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration 

Careful, methodical habits. Security work rewards people who check twice 

Clear writing, and the patience to explain a risk to someone who does not work in IT 

Nice to have 

CompTIA Security+, SC-200, AZ-500, or a CrowdStrike certification, or active progress toward one 

Any PowerShell scripting 

macOS management exposure (Iru, Kandji, or Jamf) 

Familiarity with SOC 2, NIST CSF, or CIS Controls 

Experience in legal, financial, or another regulated industry 

We know that a company's success starts with its employees. We also know that an individual's success starts with the right career opportunity. Join our team today!
