Senior SOC Analyst @ itsme

Belgian Mobile ID, known for the innovative itsme® app, is one of Europe's fastest-growing scale-ups. In 2017, itsme was founded through a unique collaboration of seven Belgian market leaders from the banking and telecommunications sectors with a clear mission: to offer a state-of-the-art digital identity solution to everyone, enabling secure and seamless interaction in the digital space. Today, this results in overwhelming success, with usage by 7 million citizens (more than 80% of the adult population in Belgium). More than 1 million actions are performed daily, and the app has been successfully launched in 26 European countries with the ambition to become an international leader.
The itsme® solution guarantees the highest security through the unique combination of the app, the mobile phone, and biometric or PIN identification. The service is recognized with the Level of Assurance 'High' e-identification means and as a 'qualified' provider of trust services for electronic signatures in the eIDAS regulation, which ensures the strictest security requirements and legal validity.

The company's commitment to security is not only a regulatory necessity but also an integral part of delivering a reliable and secure digital identity solution to their users, due to the sensitive nature of a significant portion of their data and services. The Senior SOC Analyst plays a pivotal role in proactively identifying and mitigating these threats through continuous monitoring, incident response, informing stakeholders and intelligence sharing. The Senior SOC Analyst will actively handle emerging threats, minimize security attacks, prevent leaks and develop robust strategies to counter emerging cyber threats.
