Job Description
SOC Team Lead - Enhance DSB's Cyber Defense

Ready to take the next step towards team leadership? 

Use your SOC know-how to protect DSB against cyber threats, respond to security incidents and help lead a skilled team as we build up our cyber resilience.


Welcome to IT Security

In our IT Security Department, 19 specialists protect critical Danish infrastructure by reducing vulnerabilities and safeguarding the systems DSB and our customers rely on.

We are based at DSB’s headquarters in Høje Taastrup, Denmark.

Our skills cover Governance, Risk & Compliance, IT Security Architecture, and Security Operations.

Our Security Operations Center team protects critical systems and infrastructure by detecting, analyzing, and responding to security threats across DSB.

The team consists of six colleagues from France, Cyprus, Portugal, the UK, and Denmark. Our diverse backgrounds and perspectives create a collaborative and inspiring work environment.

Over the next three years, we will expand our monitoring and security coverage across DSB's IT landscape. This calls for collaboration, technical insight, and strategic focus, and you will be key in making it happen.

 

Hear from Jessika, IT Security Analyst, about her role and the team

“It’s a job that never gets boring, attackers always innovate to bypass protection measures, which means we always have something new to look at.

We focus on detections that make sense for DSB and work well in our environment, and that to me is a huge advantage as I can be more creative.

When I run out of ideas or miss information to solve a task, I know that I can always find a sparring partner that has a suggestion on something new to try”



What will you be doing?

Over the next three years, we will expand monitoring and security coverage across DSB’s IT landscape.

As SOC Team Lead, you will help shape the direction of the area while combining practical incident handling with suggesting and implementing improvements to help the SOC team.

You will coordinate closely with our external Managed Detection and Response partner, who provides first-line monitoring and response, and ensure that incidents are prioritized and handled effectively.

A typical day might start with a coffee and a discussion with a team member about a tricky incident.

You may run a tabletop exercise to test and hone our incident response capabilities.

After lunch, you’ll provide sparring in a 1:1 session with a team member, followed by a meeting with one of our operational security suppliers about incident handling and adjustment of alerting rules.

Before you leave you engage in improving a workflow, a log source or runbook together with the team.

Every Friday, you will meet with security analysts and architects to share knowledge and plan upcoming activities.

Other responsibilities include

  • Defining the SOC roadmap and strategy
  • Planning and delivering security training
  • Providing technical sparring to the team and other parts of the organization
  • Contributing to tenders, ISO audits and supplier follow-ups when needed
