  • Lead quarterly IR maturity assessments, leveraging industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, SANS) to benchmark and prioritize investments in people, process, and technology
• Playbook & Toolchain Management
  • Standardize and version-control incident response playbooks, ensuring they address emerging threat scenarios (e.g., supply-chain attacks, cloud compromises, ransomware)
  • Evaluate and pilot advanced IR tooling (EDR/XDR, SOAR orchestration, threat intelligence platforms) to automate repetitive tasks and elevate analyst productivity
• Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
  • Liaise with Global Security Operations, IT, Legal, Compliance, and Business Continuity teams to integrate incident response into enterprise risk management
  • Present quarterly IR program reviews to the Security Leadership Team and provide executive summaries for the Audit & Risk Committee
