Build, test, and maintain automated playbooks and response workflows in a SOAR platform (e.g., Torq, Microsoft Sentinel Automation Rules and Logic Apps) for enrichment, triage, containment, and case management. Develop, tune, and operationalize detection and correlation rules through automated validation and deployment. Measure the impact of automation against SOC performance metrics (MTTD, MTTR, alert volume, false-positive rate) and iterate based on results. Partner with Detection Engineering and Security Engineering to integrate tooling, close telemetry gaps, and standardize repeatable response. Security Monitoring & Analysis Monitor and analyze logs and alerts across SIEM, EDR, identity, and cloud platforms. Correlate data across multiple sources to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging threats. Maintain situational awareness of the external threat landscape and internal security posture. Mentorship & Reporting Mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts, lead knowledge-sharing, and uplevel team investigative tradecraft and tooling proficiency. Document incident timelines, findings, and lessons learned. Track, analyze, and drive improvement of core SOC performance metrics (MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false-positive rate), and use them to prioritize tuning and automation efforts. Generate executive-level and technical reports on SOC performance and incidents, and support compliance and audit efforts through accurate record-keeping and evidence handling.
