Help organizations stay one step ahead of cyber threats. Cyber attacks are no longer a question of if, but when. While prevention remains essential, organizations increasingly rely on their ability to detect threats early, respond effectively, and recover quickly.

At Deloitte, we assist some of Switzerland's largest and most critical organizations in building and transforming their cyber defense capabilities. From designing Cyber Defence Centres and Security Operations Centres to improving incident response processes, deploying security technologies, and exploring AI-enabled security operations, we empower our clients to strengthen their resilience against an ever-evolving threat landscape.

If you are passionate about cyber defense, enjoy solving complex challenges, and wish to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, this could be the opportunity for you.

How You Can Make an Impact

As a Cyber Detect & Respond Advisor, you will collaborate with experienced cyber professionals to help clients prepare for, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats and attacks.

You will:

• Assess and improve cyber defense 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 defense strategies, operating models, governance structures, and transformation roadmaps.
• Design, implement, configure, and optimize cyber defense technologies such as SIEM, EDR, NDR, Threat Intelligence, and Vulnerability Management platforms.

• Conduct cyber defense 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 advise clients on 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.

• Understanding of modern threat actors, attack techniques, and cyber defense 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.
