You’ll also work closely with other groups, such as Threat Hunting, Cyber Risk Management, DLP, SOC, Vulnerability Management, the Red Team, and Incident Response to ensure that important context is captured in order to enrich not just the detections you’ll build, but the others’ processes and outcomes as well.

How You'll Succeed

• Build Great Detections– Leverage your understanding of different threat surfaces, kill-chain, MITRE ATT&CK and more to move beyond 1:1 alerting, and create truly well-crafted correlated detections that target specific threat activities.
• Understand Your Attack and Threat Surfaces – You’ll need to leverage your knowledge of Endpoint, Network, Cloud, Application, Proxy Active Directory and more.
• Call Out Problems and Roadblocks – There will always be impediments and blockers to success, but we need to shine a light on them in order to properly identify and plan to overcome them. Better still, present options for overcoming the roadblock when calling it out, and the path(s) forward once it is resolved.
• Work Collaboratively, Both Within Your Team, and Without – Effective communication, collaboration, information sharing and teamwork are essential to success in this space. No one has all the answers, but more often than not, the answers can be found close at hand, either simply by asking the right questions, or putting the right heads together to solve for the problem at hand.

Who You Are

• You understand that success is in the details. You notice things that others don't. Your critical thinking skills help to inform your decision making.
