Job description
Location: Zurich (with flexibility to work across Switzerland)
Work Pattern: 80% - 100%
Help organisations stay one step ahead of cyber threats
Cyber attacks are no longer a question of if, but when. While prevention remains important, organisations increasingly rely on their ability to detect threats early, respond effectively, and recover quickly.
At Deloitte, we help some of Switzerland's largest and most critical organisations build and transform their cyber defence capabilities. From designing Cyber Defence Centres and Security Operations Centres to improving incident response, deploying security technologies, and exploring AI-enabled security operations, we help our clients strengthen their resilience against an ever-evolving threat landscape.
If you are passionate about cyber defence, enjoy solving complex challenges, and want to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, this is the opportunity for you.
How you can make an impact
As a Cyber Detect & Respond Advisor, you will work alongside experienced cyber professionals to help clients prepare for, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats and attacks.
You will:
- Assess and improve cyber defence capabilities, including Security Operations Centres (SOC), Cyber Defence Centres (CDC), Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting, and Vulnerability Management
- Help clients design practical and effective cyber defence strategies, operating models, governance structures, and transformation roadmaps
- Design, implement, configure, and optimise cyber defence technologies such as SIEM, EDR, NDR, Threat Intelligence, and Vulnerability Management platforms
- Support the development of detection use cases, monitoring capabilities, automation workflows, and security operations processes
- Conduct cyber defence assessments, maturity reviews, and benchmarking exercises to identify improvement opportunities
- Support incident response readiness activities, including playbook development, tabletop exercises, and crisis preparedness initiatives
- Evaluate emerging technologies and help clients understand how innovations such as AI-powered security operations can enhance detection and response capabilities
- Work closely with specialists across Deloitte to deliver integrated cyber security solutions that create measurable value for clients
- Contribute to business development, thought leadership, and the continued growth of Deloitte's Detect & Respond practice
Who we are looking for
We are looking for curious and motivated professionals who combine technical expertise with a desire to make a real impact. You bring:
- Approximately 5+ years of professional experience in cyber security, cyber defence, security operations, incident response, threat intelligence, cyber engineering, or a related field
- A passion for helping organisations prepare for and respond to cyber threats
- Practical experience in one or more areas such as Security Operations, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting, Detection Engineering, Vulnerability Management, Digital Forensics, or Cyber Defence
- Familiarity with technologies such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, XSIAM, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Cortex XDR, EDR, NDR, SIEM, or similar solutions
- Understanding of modern threat actors, attack techniques, and cyber defence best practices
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, combined with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders
- Curiosity, drive, and a desire to continuously learn and develop
Additional experience that is valued:
- Experience working in a Security Operations Centre (SOC), Cyber Defence Centre (CDC), CSIRT, or Incident Response team
- Exposure to AI-enabled security operations, security automation, detection engineering, or threat validation
- Relevant certifications such as CISSP, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, SC-200, AZ-500, or equivalent
- University degree in a relevant field (Bachelor's or Master's)
- Fluent English; German and/or French are an advantage
Your team
You will join a diverse, international, and highly collaborative team of cyber security professionals who are passionate about helping organisations strengthen their resilience against cyber threats.
What makes our team different is the opportunity to work across the full cyber defence lifecycle. One day you may be helping a client define their future Cyber Defence Centre strategy, the next designing security monitoring capabilities, improving incident response processes, or supporting the implementation of leading security technologies.
We believe that great careers are built through challenging work, continuous learning, and strong support. You will benefit from hands-on experience, dedicated mentoring, professional certifications, and collaboration with experts across Deloitte's global network.
Most importantly, we foster an open and inclusive culture where people are encouraged to bring new ideas, challenge the status quo, and shape the future of cyber defence.
