• Control improvement and tuning: Continuously review and improve tool configurations, detection rules, prevention policies and exclusions to reduce false positives, close detection gaps and align controls with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and current threat intelligence.
• Visibility and coverage: Ensure complete and reliable security telemetry for on-premises and cloud assets by onboarding new log sources, endpoints and network segments, validating data quality, parsing and retention, and tracking coverage gaps to closure.
• Threat detection and containment: Support the managed SOC and incident response team by using SIEM, EDR and NTA capabilities to investigate, isolate and contain threats, and implement control improvements arising from incidents, red team exercises, table-tops and post-incident reviews.
• Security control assessment: Analyse, assess and evaluate security controls for systems deployed on-premises and in the cloud, provide visibility into the security posture of these assets, and recommend improvements to strengthen Income's cyber defence.
• Automation and AI: Apply automation, SOAR and AI-driven capabilities to streamline repetitive administration and response tasks, consolidate and integrate security controls, and reduce management complexity and cost, with appropriate validation of outputs.
• Reporting and metrics: Use SIEM and analytics tools to produce insightful operational and management metrics on tool health, detection coverage, alert trends and control effectiveness for weekly, monthly and quarterly reporting.
• Technology refresh and evaluation: Plan and perform technology refresh of security tools when required, and evaluate emerging cyber security products through proofs of concept, translating them into feasible solutions for the organisation.
• Project management: Take ownership of assigned security projects as project manager, adhering to Income's Procurement and Project Management frameworks to gather security control requirements, deliver projects on time, and transition them into operations with IT infrastructure, application teams and business units.
• Vendor and contract management: Manage product vendors and maintenance support contracts, including licence tracking, renewals, ITQ/RFP preparation and monitoring of vendor deliverables.
