Key Tasks & Duties

• Assess business impact from correlated events and take appropriate response actions.
• Ensure proper case management and provide concise, well‑documented event annotations.
• Identify and report repetitive low‑value alerts to Content Managers and Detection Engineers for tuning or removal.
• Escalate unusual or high‑risk events to the Threat Hunting team and Detection Engineers for further investigation and detection rule development.
• Leverage AI‑enabled detections to support manual analysis and reduce noise; report improvement opportunities for playbook development.
• Extract additional details from platforms for active incidents; elevate complex queries to Threat Hunters as needed.
