• Prepare reports for managed clients for both technical and non-technical audiences and continuously improve their content and presentation.
• Maintain and update security incident documentation, including incident reports, analysis findings, and recommended mitigation strategies.

What you’ll bring:

• Demonstrable experience in a Security Operations Centre.
• Demonstrable experience of managing Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk implementations.
• Knowledge and experience with the Mitre Att&ck Framework.
• Solid grasp of client-server applications, multi-tier web applications, relational databases, firewalls, VPNs, and enterprise AntiVirus products.
• Deep technical knowledge in the analysis of log data and intrusion detection systems.
• Solid understanding of networking principles including TCP/IP, WANs, LANs, and commonly used Internet protocols such as SMTP, HTTP, FTP, POP, and LDAP.

• CREST Practitioner Intrusion Analyst.
• Experience with SIEM technologies, namely Sentinel and Splunk, with some experience with QRadar.
