    About the Role

    The Cybersecurity Analyst will be a key member of the IT team, responsible for safeguarding First Ally Capital's digital assets, infrastructure, and customer data across the Group and its subsidiaries. The analyst will monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats across our Microsoft 365 (M365) and Azure cloud environments, as well as our retail-facing application. This role requires a hands-on professional with strong analytical capability and a working knowledge of cloud security, endpoint protection, and application security.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Monitor security alerts and events from Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for Cloud Apps (MCAS) on a continuous basis.
    • Analyse logs and telemetry from Azure Monitor, Microsoft 365 security centre, and the retail application to identify anomalies and potential intrusions.
    • Triage and investigate security incidents, determine root causes, and escalate appropriately to the IT Manager.
    • Maintain and fine-tune detection rules, alert thresholds, and SIEM correlation queries to reduce false positives.

    Identity & Access Management (IAM)

    • Administer and enforce Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) policies including Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
    • Conduct periodic user access reviews and entitlement assessments across M365, Azure subscriptions, and the retail app.
    • Detect and investigate suspicious sign-in activity, compromised credentials, and identity-based attacks.
    • Enforce least-privilege principles and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) across all platforms.
    • Cloud Security (Microsoft Azure & M365)
    • Manage and improve the security posture of the company's Azure environment using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and the Azure Security Benchmark.
    • Conduct regular reviews of Azure Policy, security recommendations, and compliance scores in Microsoft Secure Score.
    • Ensure proper configuration of M365 services including Exchange Online Protection (EOP), Safe Links, Safe Attachments, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.
    • Review and harden Azure networking components including NSGs, Azure Firewall rules, and Private Endpoints.

    Retail & Core Application Security

    • Collaborate with the application development team to integrate security into the SDLC (Secure-by-Design).
    • Perform and coordinate vulnerability assessments and DAST/SAST scans on the retail and banking application.
    • Monitor application logs for suspicious activity, injection attempts, authentication abuse, and API misuse.
    • Assist in managing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules and API gateway security policies.
    • Track and follow up on remediation of identified application vulnerabilities within agreed SLAs.

    Vulnerability Management & Patch Compliance

    • Run regular vulnerability scans using Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management or third-party tools across endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads.
    • Track remediation status and produce dashboards showing patch compliance levels for servers, endpoints, and SaaS platforms.
    • Liaise with system administrators and vendors to prioritise and close critical vulnerabilities.

    Incident Response & Forensics

    • Participate in the investigation, containment, eradication, and recovery phases of security incidents.
    • Document incident timelines, findings, and lessons learned in structured post-incident reports.
    • Support forensic data collection and preservation following confirmed incidents.
    • Maintain and update the Incident Response Playbooks tailored to M365 and Azure threat scenarios.

    Compliance & Policy

    • Support compliance with relevant regulations and frameworks applicable to Nigerian financial institutions (e.g., CBN Cybersecurity Framework, NDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS where applicable).
    • Assist with internal and external security audits by gathering evidence and coordinating remediation actions.
    • Maintain up-to-date security documentation, policies, standards, and procedures.

    Endpoint & Email Security

    • Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint policies — onboarding, configuration, and response actions.
    • Investigate email-based threats including phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and malware delivery via M365 Defender and Threat Explorer.
    • Enforce and review Intune/Endpoint Manager device compliance and configuration Profiles

    Qualifications & Experience

    • Familiarity with web/mobile application security concepts (OWASP Top 10, API security).
    • Working knowledge of KQL (Kusto Query Language) for creating Sentinel search queries, workbooks, and custom analytics rules (highly preferred).
