• Conduct forensic investigations and deep-dive analysis of security events to identify trends, attack techniques, and areas for improvement
• Conduct proactive threat hunting across endpoint, network, and cloud environments to identify sophisticated cyber threats
• Analyze security logs, behavioral patterns, and anomalies to detect indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
• Investigate security incidents, perform forensic analysis, and provide actionable recommendations for mitigation and remediation
• Develop and refine threat hunting methodologies, leveraging frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain
• Automate threat detection and analysis using scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash
