Description

Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. We are one of the few companies globally that can provide governments and customers with an integrated energy offering. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner!

About The Role

The Cyber Security Incident Response Specialist would be member of CSIRT, part of Counter Threat & Engineering (CT&E) function, responding to cyber threats and security incidents globally. The team operates out of bp hubs in Houston (U.S), Sunbury (U.K), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Pune (India), and Singapore. The Security Operations Center (SOC) raises incidents to CSIRT, which responds to the incidents by conducting investigations using digital forensics, advanced techniques, and collaborating across bp. Team members must understand bp’s business segments and address a broad range of security-related questions. You will help ensure enterprise security, enabling safe and secure business operations as part of this global team.

The CSIRT is part of our wider CT&E team that is responsible for protecting bp against cyber threats. This role also requires you to be on an on-call Rota few times throughout the year.

What You Will Deliver

Support the bp SOC as an escalation point for security events and incidents.
Conduct digital forensic investigations on high-priority incidents to include functions such as host (disk and memory) forensics, network forensics and log analysis.
Work across Digital Security and the bp business functions to partner on incidents and to ensure all appropriate actions are being taken and communicated.
Conduct advanced threat hunting by using threat intelligence and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to proactively identify suspicious activity in the environment.
Ensure data accuracy within the case management system and others.
When not actively responding to incidents, other key responsibilities within the role include development of documentation and processes such as playbooks, refining your skills through training opportunities and identifying and enhancing the capabilities of the team by developing opportunities for automation (i.e., custom scripts and tool integration).

Experience with attacker tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP’s).

Strong problem-solving skills as applied to technical solutions.

Sound technical knowledge of security as applied to IT/OT networks, systems, and applications.

Ability to communicate effectively and document investigative findings in a clear and concise manner.

Leadership and EQ

You embrace a culture of change and agility, evolving continuously, adapting to our changing world.
You are an effective teammate, looking beyond your own area/organizational boundaries to consider the bigger picture and/or perspective of others, while understanding cultural differences.
You continually enhance your self-awareness and seek input from others on your impact and effectiveness.

Well organized, you balance proactive and reactive approaches and multiple priorities to complete tasks on time.
