  • Expertise in investigating and mitigating security incidents across diverse environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures.
  • Proficiency with SOC technologies, including SIEM (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, IBM QRadar), EDR/XDR (e.g., Trellix, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), and SOAR platforms (e.g., Chronicle, FortiSOAR, Splunk SOAR).
  • Strong understanding of threat intelligence integration, adversary TTPs, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Advanced analytical and problem- solving skills for in-depth threat assessment.

  • SIEM or EDR certifications are a plus (e.g., Splunk, Chronicle, SentinelOne)

You will be accountable for the following responsibilities:

  • Conduct thorough analysis of critical incidents escalated from initial triage, using raw attack telemetry, Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and advanced forensic data.
  • Understand the scope of attacks, identify affected systems, and determine the extent of compromise.
  • Coordinate and implement containment strategies, eradication procedures, and recovery plans to mitigate ongoing threats.
  • Incorporate threat intelligence feeds, updated detection rules, and IoC databases to enhance response effectiveness.
  • Analyze adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to develop actionable insights and improve detection capabilities.
  • Consult with additional senior analysts or escalate unresolved incidents to specialized teams, such as forensic experts or SOC engineering teams, as needed.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, including IT and security teams, to ensure a cohesive and efficient response to incidents.
  • Utilize tools such as SIEM platforms (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, IBM QRadar, FortiSIEM), EDR/XDR solutions (e.g., Trellix, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, FortiXDR), and SOAR platforms (e.g., Chronicle, FortiSOAR, Splunk SOAR) to perform advanced threat analysis and automate response actions.
  • Assist in tuning detection rules and optimizing monitoring tools for improved incident detection and response.
  • Document the full incident lifecycle, including root cause analysis, actions taken, and lessons learned.
