The Junior Information Security Analyst position is a full-time, on-site role based at Hebbal Industrial Area in Mysore, Karnataka. The company is building out its security operations locally and needs someone who can sit with the team, watch the systems daily, and act fast when something looks wrong. It's an entry-tier role on paper, but the person who takes it will own a meaningful slice of the company's day-to-day security posture from week one.
Cybersecurity for a mid-sized company rarely looks like the war-room scenes people imagine. Most days involve reviewing dashboards, closing low-priority alerts, and keeping logs and access records clean. It's steady, detail-heavy work, and this role suits someone who wants to build a real foundation in security operations rather than jump straight into a narrow specialist track. The team currently handles a mix of internal infrastructure and a small number of client-facing systems, so the alert volume varies week to week rather than sitting at a constant, predictable level.
Day-to-day responsibilities
- Watch security monitoring tools and dashboards for unusual login patterns, unauthorized access attempts, and other flagged activity
- Investigate incidents as they come in, trace where they originated, and write up findings in a way the rest of the team can act on
- Respond to confirmed incidents by containing the affected systems and coordinating with IT on next steps
- Apply protective measures such as access control changes, patching schedules, and configuration fixes to reduce repeat issues
- Support periodic vulnerability assessments across the company's on-site infrastructure and help track remediation through to close
- Keep incident logs and access records current enough that an auditor or a new team member could follow them without extra explanation
There will be stretches where the biggest event of the week is a false positive that still needs to be documented properly, and that documentation matters as much as the incidents that turn out to be real. Over time, these responsibilities tend to widen; analysts who handle the basics reliably usually get more independent judgment calls on triage within the first year.
Skills required
Candidates should already be comfortable with the following:
- Security frameworks and how they translate into day-to-day controls
- Risk assessment, including how to weigh likelihood against impact
- Incident response fundamentals, from triage through documentation
- Basic networking concepts, including how traffic moves across a corporate network and where common chokepoints sit
Good to have
These aren't required, but they'll strengthen an application. A working knowledge of a SIEM platform such as Splunk or QRadar helps someone get productive faster, since alert triage is a large part of the role. Some exposure to scripting, particularly Python, is useful for automating repetitive checks like log pulls or access reviews. An entry-level certification like CompTIA Security+ is a reasonable signal of readiness, though it isn't treated as a hard requirement here, and candidates without one who show solid hands-on judgment during the interview will still be considered seriously.
Education and experience
A bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a closely related field is the minimum education requirement for this role. On the experience side, the posting calls for 3 years in a relevant security function. Employers in this category generally expect that time to include some direct exposure to monitoring or incident response, not just general IT support, though the exact mix varies by candidate and is discussed during the interview rather than screened rigidly upfront.

Compensation and benefits
Pay for this role goes up to ₹57,000 a month, in line with typical information security analyst salary figures in Mysore for a junior-level, on-site position. Beyond salary, this role comes with a handful of tangible extras.
- Health insurance coverage
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- Relocation assistance and short-term accommodation support for candidates moving to Mysore specifically for this role
The accommodation support is worth calling out on its own, since Hebbal Industrial Area sits a bit outside the main city and out-of-town hires sometimes need a few weeks to sort out permanent housing nearby. Employees who already live in or near Mysore won't need it, obviously, but for anyone relocating from another city it tends to make the first month noticeably easier.
About working here
The team is small enough that a junior analyst gets real ownership of incidents rather than sitting on the sidelines watching senior staff work. Senior team members review the bigger calls, but day-to-day triage and documentation are handled independently once someone is ramped up, which usually takes four to eight weeks depending on prior exposure to the company's specific tools. Expect regular check-ins during that stretch, tapering off as the role settles into a normal rhythm.
Working on-site matters here because a lot of the infrastructure being monitored is physically on the Hebbal campus, and quick, in-person coordination with IT during an active incident is part of why the role is structured this way rather than as remote. The commute from most parts of Mysore city to the industrial area runs about thirty to forty minutes, depending on traffic, which is worth factoring in for anyone weighing daily logistics against the relocation support on offer.
How to apply
Interested candidates should submit an updated resume along with a short note on any hands-on incident response or monitoring work they've done, even if it was part of a broader IT role rather than a dedicated security position. Those who move forward will first get a phone call to walk through their background, then sit down with the security team for a technical round covering a couple of realistic scenario questions rather than pure theory. Given the on-site requirement, candidates should confirm they can relocate to Mysore or are already based there before applying, since the role isn't set up to accommodate remote or hybrid arrangements at this time.
