Are you an experienced Cyber Analyst with a passion for IT Security and a curiosity how things work, we are looking for you to join our growing Cyber Defense Incident Response team as a temporary backfill for a long term absence in the team for 3-6 months..


Introduction
ASML brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world’s leading chipmakers – to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.


The Cyber Defense Center (CDC) within ASML (Veldhoven office) minimizes the damage caused by threat actors bypassing ASML preventative security controls through real time detection & response and therefore protecting ASML assets. By constantly acting on alerts, improving and adapting our monitoring controls we enable ASML to operate in an increasingly hostile environment.
