at Eurofins

🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing, with a mission to promote safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments. By joining Eurofins, you'll be part of a purpose-driven organization that impacts public health and safety worldwide, while also being at the forefront of digital transformation in security operations.

About This Role

As a Senior Information Security Analyst (SOC IR L3) at Eurofins, you'll be the escalation point for the most complex security incidents, leading deep investigations and driving remediation across a global infrastructure. Your expertise will directly strengthen Eurofins' security posture, protecting critical data and systems that support vital testing services.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing overnight alerts and escalating critical incidents, then diving into a complex investigation involving endpoint forensics and cloud logs. You'd collaborate with IT and business teams to contain threats, and later, lead a post-incident review to improve detection and response processes. On-call days add unpredictability, requiring rapid response to critical incidents at any hour.
