Security Analyst, Insider Risk
San Jose, California, United States
The mission of TikTok's Global Security Organization is to build and earn trust by reducing risk and securing our businesses and products. Also known as "GSO", this team is the foundation of our efforts to keep TikTok safe, secure, and operating at scale for over 1 billion people around the world. We work to ensure that the TikTok platform is safe and secure, that our users' experience and their data remains safe from external or internal threats, and that we comply with global regulations wherever TikTok operates.
Trust is one of TikTok's biggest initiatives, and security is integral to our success. In whatever ways users interact with us — whether they're watching videos on their For You page, interacting with a Live video, or buying products on TikTok Shop — GSO protects their data and privacy, so they can have a secure and trustworthy experience.
As part of the Threat and Incident Management team, you will support TikTok's inside threat operation. You will utilize analytical methods to understand insider risk patterns and establish models for forecasting insider risk scenarios. The candidate will also collaborate with stakeholders from data engineers to executives, prioritizing data sources for onboarding into risk models and gathering requirements for dashboards to provide a holistic view on operations.
Responsibilities
- Analyze large and complex datasets to identify potential threats and develop detection logic to mitigate risks.
- Triage, investigate, and escalate security incidents from various sources including SIEM, DLP, UEBA, and endpoint tools.
- Respond to security incidents in real-time and participate in root cause analysis, escalation, and incident recovery efforts.
- Coordinate with system owners, data teams, and business units to enhance detection logic, data, reduce false positives, and refine workflows.
- Create and maintain dashboards to support threat hunting, investigations, and operational reporting.
- Communicate findings, risk posture, and recommended remediation steps clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to identify process improvements and implement scalable security solutions.
