Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

Kyndryl’s Security & Resiliency is one of our most critical practices, ensuring enterprises, regardless of their size and complexity, remain secure, available, reliable, and resilient. We take Cybersecurity seriously. We're not just invested; we're committed. We're not just protecting data; we're empowering. Kyndryl is committed to making the world safer, not only by investing in state-of-the-art services and technologies but also by empowering underserved communities with essential cyber skills.

When you walk through our doors, you're not only joining a team but you're also becoming part of a legacy. Welcome to Kyndryl, where Cybersecurity isn't just a job – it’s a passion; a commitment to designing, running, and managing the most modern and reliable technology infrastructure that the world depends on every day.

As a Cybersecurity Defense professional at Kyndryl, you will encompass cybersecurity, incident response, security operations, vulnerability management, and the world of cyber threat hunting and security intelligence analysis all to protect the very heartbeat of organizations – their infrastructure.

In this role, you won't just monitor; you'll actively engage in the relentless hunt for cyber adversaries. In a world where every click and keystroke could be a potential gateway for attackers, your role will be nothing short of critical as you seek out advanced threats, attackers, and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Your expertise in endpoint detection and response (EDR) will be the shield that safeguards individual workstations, laptops, servers, and other devices from cybercrime. Your responsibilities go beyond vigilance. When it comes to network security, you'll utilize Network Detection and Response (NDR) to monitor the ever-flowing currents of network traffic. The incident management process will be used as you respond and manage to cybersecurity incidents.

Cybersecurity Defense is all about information. You'll gather, analyze, and interpret data applying your own and external threat intelligence to uncover potential security threats and risks. These insights and your ability to analyze complex attack scenarios will be the foundation of our security strategy – helping Kyndryl stay one step ahead of security breaches.

In Cybersecurity Defense at Kyndryl, you’re not just protecting the present – you’re shaping the future of digital security. Join us on this cybersecurity venture where your expertise and creativity will have a lasting impact in the world of digital defense.
