• Administer and manage NDR technology — developing policies, creating custom correlation rules, integrating with SIEM, and periodically reviewing configurations to propose enhancements

• Manage support tickets with EDR/NDR vendors and coordinate resolution as needed

• Leverage IR tools and solutions across the full detection, investigation, and response lifecycle

• Produce cyber intelligence reports that communicate technical findings clearly to information security staff, non-technical business stakeholders, and senior management

• Lead the cyber team day-to-day and provide on-call support outside business hours when required
