• Review and validate operational metrics for assigned areas (e.g., alert quality, false positives, detection coverage, response timelines) and recommend improvements.
• Ensure investigations and response activities align with business priorities and applicable regulatory requirements; support audits and evidence requests as needed.
• Contribute to the maturity of threat intelligence, threat hunting, incident response, and purple teaming by identifying gaps, proposing enhancements, and implementing improvements within assigned scope.
• Drive continuous improvement of security operations playbooks, procedures, and team readiness through lessons learned and regular reviews.
• Provide technical ownership for assigned security services and platforms to ensure reliability and scalability.
• Manage assigned incident workload and Managed Service Provider escalations by ensuring security incidents and events are identified, analyzed, documented, and driven to closure within defined timelines.
• Coordinate with the Managed Service Provider on active investigations (e.g., evidence requests, containment steps, and status updates) and participate in regular service reviews to address trends and recurring issues.
• Recommend security controls to protect information systems based on ongoing reviews of security incidents, vulnerabilities, and threats.
• Stay up to date with the latest threats, vulnerabilities, and security trends and make recommendations for improving our security posture.
