Job description

• Work with red teams to simulate attacks and see if their detection mechanisms work detection platform to analyse EDR telemetry, alerts, and log sources across several detection domains (Endpoint, Identity, SIEM, Cloud/SaaS, etc.)
• Detect campaigns and attacks against your infrastructure, and identify the actors responsible.
• Improve and assist in automating the detection of incidents by your SOC.
• Detect existing APTs in the wild of our systems.
• Improve your tools (SIEMs, FWs, IDS / IPS, WAFs, EDR) for IOC detection, avoiding false positives.
• Should have experience in Developing new correlation rules & Parser writing experience in Log source integration
• Provide recommendations in tuning and optimization of security systems, SOC security process, procedures and policies.
• Define, create and maintain SIEM correlation rules, customer build documents, security process and procedures
• Develop and implement threat detection and response strategies to proactively defend against cyber threats.
• Document and communicate security incidents, vulnerabilities, and remediation efforts to stakeholders.
• Stay current with the latest cyber threats, attack techniques, and security technologies to enhance detection and response capabilities.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of security monitoring and incident response processes and procedures.
