GIFT City in Gandhinagar has a Junior Cybersecurity Analyst opening, full time, on site, with a security team protecting infrastructure for a growing organization. Six months of experience is the expectation, enough to have already worked with basic security monitoring in some capacity.
The work covers assessing systems for vulnerabilities, implementing protective controls, supporting incident response, and recommending improvements. A junior analyst here works under close supervision on anything touching live systems at first, with independence growing as demonstrated judgment builds trust with the senior team.
A bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with familiarity with security monitoring tools, vulnerability assessment, and incident response practices, with hands-on tool exposure preferred but not mandatory for this entry-level seat.
Any coursework or personal lab experience in security monitoring, a security certification you're working toward, and genuine curiosity about why an alert fired before assuming it's a false positive.
GIFT City in Gandhinagar is a purpose-built international financial and business hub, and this security team protects infrastructure for an organization operating in a genuinely regulated environment, which shapes how seriously documentation and process get treated even at the junior level. Naukri Mitra has listed a few cybersecurity roles from this employer, and junior analysts who've joined recently describe the close mentorship as the most valuable part of the role, with a senior analyst reviewing their findings directly before anything gets escalated.
Interviews include a basic scenario round on investigating a flagged anomaly and a technical screening. Candidates who ask good clarifying questions during the scenario tend to interview well.
This role is based at GIFT City, Gandhinagar, pin code 382355, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹57,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four to five weeks.
