We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Computer Forensics Analyst to join our cybersecurity team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and investigative techniques. As a Computer Forensics Analyst, you will be responsible for collecting, analyzing, and preserving digital evidence from various electronic devices and systems to support investigations related to cybercrimes, data breaches, fraud, and other security incidents. You will collaborate closely with law enforcement agencies, legal teams, and internal stakeholders to ensure the integrity and admissibility of digital evidence in legal proceedings.
Your role will involve conducting thorough forensic examinations of computers, mobile devices, storage media, and network systems to identify, recover, and document relevant digital evidence. You will utilize specialized forensic software and tools to analyze data, reconstruct events, and uncover hidden or deleted information. Additionally, you will prepare detailed forensic reports and provide expert testimony in court or other legal settings as required.
The successful candidate must possess excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality. You should be comfortable working independently as well as collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment.

You will participate in ongoing training and professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge. Additionally, you will contribute to the development and implementation of forensic policies, procedures, and best practices to ensure compliance with industry standards and legal requirements.
This position requires flexibility and adaptability, as you may be required to respond to urgent incidents outside of regular working hours. You must be capable of managing multiple investigations simultaneously, prioritizing tasks effectively, and meeting tight deadlines under pressure.
If you are passionate about cybersecurity, digital investigations, and protecting organizations from cyber threats, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Join our dedicated team and play a critical role in safeguarding our organization's digital assets and reputation.
