IT Security Analyst/Scripter

My Brussels based client within the financial sector has an urgent requirement for an IT Security Analyst/Scripter for a contract to the end of 2012 but with the possibility of further extension after the initial period. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and maintain scripts to facilitate security assessments, monitoring, reporting and security incident investigation.

You will also participate in other Operational Security aspects of the team such as:

Raise and follow-up Security vulnerabilities and deviations against the Technical Security Standards

Monitor security events on the different platforms and investigate Security Incidents following Security Incident Response procedures.

Applicants should have 3 to 5 year programming experience preferably in the following languages:

VBA & VB Scripting

Bash Shell Scripting

You are also be familiar with Windows and Unix/Linux and be able to demonstrate basic knowledge of networking (TCP/IP). Ideally you will have experience with Security monitoring tools and security technologies such as Firewalls, Intrusion Detection systems, (reverse) Proxy Servers, anti-virus, vulnerability scanners and virtualization. Professional certifications are SANS GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) and CISSP would be beneficial. The business language is English but any ability to speak French and/or Dutch would be advantageous. This is potentially a long tern engagement within an excellent working environment.
