Threat & Exposure Management Analyst

The Threat & Exposure Management analyst helps ASOS understand and reduce the technology exposures most likely to contribute to material cyber risk.

Rather than treating vulnerabilities in isolation the role considers vulnerabilities misconfigurations identity and privilege weaknesses cloud security risks exposed assets and attack paths in the context of threat intelligence exploitability and business criticality.

Youll turn technical security data into clear risk-based priorities helping engineering and technology teams focus remediation effort where it delivers the greatest reduction in exposure and cyber risk.

This is an analytical and collaborative role. Youll work across ASOSs technology estate to understand what is exposed how it could realistically be exploited what an attacker could reach what matters most to ASOS and what we should do about it.

Role details

• Identify and assess technology exposures across ASOS including vulnerabilities misconfigurations identity and privilege weaknesses exposed assets and services cloud security risks and attack paths.
• Perform risk-based analysis and prioritisation considering exploitability threat intelligence attacker behaviour asset criticality business context accessibility and compensating controls to determine which exposures matter most.
• Analyse attack paths to understand how vulnerabilities configurations identities privileges and trust relationships could combine to enable compromise of critical ASOS systems services or data.
• Apply threat intelligence and exploitation data to understand which threats and exposures are most relevant to ASOS and where action should be prioritised.
• Assess exposure across modern technology environments including cloud platforms applications APIs virtual machines containers endpoints identities networks and supporting infrastructure.
• Support continuous attack-surface discovery helping identify unknown unmanaged incorrectly classified or unexpectedly exposed assets and services.
• Partner with engineering product platform and infrastructure teams to agree proportionate remediation or mitigation strategies focusing effort on actions that deliver the greatest reduction in cyber risk.
• Track significant exposures through to resolution escalating material or persistent risk where appropriate and helping teams identify effective remediation or compensating controls.
• Identify recurring exposure patterns and systemic control weaknesses working with technology teams to address root causes and eliminate classes of exposure rather than repeatedly treating individual findings.
• Assess the effectiveness of preventative and compensating controls in reducing identified exposures and attack paths recommending improvements where required.
• Validate significant exposures and remediation outcomes using appropriate technical evidence to confirm that identified risk has been materially reduced.
• Translate technical findings into clear risk insights communicating exposure potential business impact and remediation priorities to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to meaningful exposure metrics and reporting that demonstrate changes in organisational risk and remediation effectiveness rather than relying solely on vulnerability volumes or severity scores.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of ASOSs Threat & Exposure Management capability including automation data enrichment prioritisation models metrics reporting workflow integration processes and governance.
• Promote secure-by-design and proportionate risk-based security practices across ASOS technology teams.

Qualifications :

About You:

• Relevant experience as a Vulnerability Analyst SOC Analyst or in a similar role.
• Understanding of common vulnerability types and attack techniques.
• Experience with vulnerability management cloud security or security assessment tooling (e.g. Wiz Defender Nessus Qualys or similar).
• Understanding of enterprise technologies including cloud platforms infrastructure networking and software development practices.
• Ability to leverage threat intelligence to assess vulnerability risk and inform remediation priorities.
• Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security is desirable.
• Understanding of cyber security risk management principles and risk-based decision making.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for presenting technical information clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Naturally inquisitive with the ability to investigate security risks across diverse technologies and identify potential threats to the organisation.
• Self-motivated with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Additional Information :

You dont need to have worked in a role called Threat & Exposure Management before. Were looking for someone who can combine technical security knowledge with curiosity analytical thinking and an understanding of risk.

Youll ideally have:

• Relevant experience in exposure management vulnerability management cloud security security engineering threat intelligence SOC/security operations or another role involving the analysis of technology and cyber risk.
• A strong understanding of common vulnerabilities security misconfigurations and attacker techniques across modern technology environments.
• Experience using vulnerability exposure cloud security or security assessment tooling such as Wiz Microsoft Defender Nessus Qualys or equivalent platforms.
• An understanding of cloud platforms and cloud-native technologies including virtual machines containers and modern application architectures.
• An understanding of identity and privilege as part of the attack surface and how identity weaknesses can contribute to attack paths.
• An understanding of attack paths and attacker behaviour including how multiple weaknesses can be combined to reach critical assets or services.
• An understanding of cyber security risk management and the ability to make risk-based rather than severity-based decisions.
• Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security is desirable.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills with a naturally inquisitive approach to investigating security issues across diverse technologies.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly and turn them into actionable priorities for different audiences.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with engineering and technology teams to achieve practical security outcomes.

What success looks like
Success in this role isnt measured by how many vulnerabilities you find or tickets you create. Its measured by how effectively we understand and reduce the exposures that matter most to ASOS.

Youll help us move from vulnerability management based primarily on individual findings and severity scores towards a more continuous threat-informed and risk-based approach to understanding and reducing our attack surface.
