ATS keywords for a cybersecurity analyst resume
The key ATS keywords for a cybersecurity analyst resume are security operations terms (SIEM, incident response, threat detection, SOC, threat hunting), vulnerability and risk work (vulnerability management, penetration testing, risk assessment), frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CK), and tools plus certifications (Splunk, Wireshark, CISSP, Security+, CEH). Spell certification acronyms exactly — they are top filter terms.
Security ATS filters are certification- and framework-heavy, so Security+, CISSP, and the framework you work under (NIST, ISO 27001) must appear verbatim if you hold or use them. The strongest resumes pair the tool with the outcome — alerts triaged, mean time to detect reduced, vulnerabilities remediated — so the keyword reads as operational experience, not a course completion list.
