• Investigate and respond to security events and incidents, supporting containment, eradication, recovery, root-cause analysis, and the implementation of technical controls that reduce the likelihood or impact of recurrence in collaboration with internal teams.
• Stay informed on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices, and contribute to the evaluation of new security technologies to support proactive measures and continuous improvement across operations.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing across the team and support the development of security awareness and best practices within the organisation.
• Develop, test, document, and tune detection rules, alerting logic, dashboards, and automated response workflows to improve visibility, reduce false positives, and strengthen incident response capability.
• Monitor and improve security controls across cloud and identity environments, including authentication, privileged access, configuration, logging, monitoring, and integration with central security platforms.
• Develop and maintain scripts, integrations, and automated response workflows that improve alert enrichment, investigation, containment, vulnerability management, reporting, and other repeatable security operations.
• Create and maintain security architecture records, operational procedures, incident response playbooks, detection documentation, system configurations, and knowledge articles.
• Deliver security platform changes through established change, incident, problem, and service management processes, ensuring changes are tested, documented, approved, and supportable.
