Responsibilities
Lead investigations for escalated incidents such as account compromises, endpoint malware, suspicious network activity, and SaaS misuse
Correlate data across SIEM/XDR, identity/SSO, endpoint/EDR, network, and cloud/SaaS logs to build attack timelines, identify entry vectors, and assess lateral movement
Coordinate containment and remediation with Infrastructure/IT—disabling or recovering compromised accounts, isolating infected endpoints and removing malware, validating EDR coverage and system integrity, and confirming cleanup success
Produce clear, audit-ready incident documentation detailing scope, evidence, actions, timelines, decisions, and resolution rationale
Act as an escalation point for the Service Desk and junior analysts, provide real-time guidance, and apply chain-of-custody and evidence-preservation practices for high-severity events, maintaining case files with hashes, screenshots, and IOC/IOA sets
Tune and improve detections, automate repetitive workflows, and drive incident response improvements
Refine existing rules and propose new use cases based on investigations and recurring patterns; enrich cases with threat intelligence (IOCs and TTPs) and incorporate those learnings into future detections and playbooks
Contribute and evolve response playbooks for major incident types (account compromise, endpoint malware, SaaS abuse, suspicious network activity), participate in post-incident reviews with root-cause analyses and practitioner-level technical narratives, and recommend prioritized, practical prevention and mitigation improvements
Conduct targeted threat hunts (e.g., OAuth abuse, living-off-the-land binaries, credential-stuffing against legacy protocols), define and track alert-quality KPIs (true/false positive ratios, suppression coverage), and collaborate to improve MTTD/MTTR
