24/7 monitoring and alert triage across SIEM/EDR/cloud security tooling; identify false positives vs. credible threats and set appropriate severity
Initial investigation and enrichment: gather relevant logs/telemetry, add context, and document findings clearly in the case/ticketing system
Escalation and coordination: escalate confirmed/suspected incidents quickly and cleanly to L2/IR with a complete handoff (timeline, scope, IOCs, actions taken)
Runbook execution: follow SOPs for common events (phishing, suspicious logins, endpoint detections, cloud key/token risk, malware alerts, data exfiltration signals), including containment actions you’re authorized to perform
Threat-aware analysis: map alerts to adversary behaviors (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK techniques) to improve understanding and escalation quality
Operational hygiene: maintain accurate shift handovers, update watchlists and investigation notes, and identify recurring alert patterns for tuning recommendations
