What is an MSSP?

An MSSP (Managed Security Services Provider) job involves managing an organization's cybersecurity needs, such as threat monitoring, incident response, and security compliance. Professionals in this role work with various security technologies to detect, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats. They provide 24/7 monitoring, vulnerability assessments, and support for multiple clients. MSSP specialists ensure that businesses maintain strong security postures without needing in-house security teams. Their expertise helps organizations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats efficiently and cost-effectively.

What are the day-to-day responsibilities of an MSSP?

As an MSSP professional, your daily activities typically involve monitoring client networks for suspicious activity, analyzing security alerts, and responding to potential threats or vulnerabilities. You may perform routine security assessments, update and tune monitoring tools, and document incidents for compliance. Collaboration with client IT teams and internal analysts is common to ensure rapid incident resolution and implement best security practices. Over time, you'll also contribute to ongoing process improvements and help educate clients on emerging security threats.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the MSSP position, and why are they important?

To excel as an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) professional, you need a solid understanding of cybersecurity principles, threat analysis, and incident response, often supported by a degree in information security or related certifications like CISSP or CompTIA Security+. Familiarity with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, intrusion detection systems, and various network security tools is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication help MSSP professionals coordinate with clients and respond to security incidents efficiently. These skills are crucial for proactively identifying threats, protecting client assets, and maintaining trusted security relationships.

Re-posted 15 days ago

Job description

Fusion HCR is Hiring!

Position: Cyber Security Defense Manager – Incident Response
Location: Las Vegas, NV (Hybrid, Local Candidates Only)
Type: Direct Hire
Industry: Gaming

Position Overview
Client of Fusion HCR is seeking an experienced Cyber Security Defense Manager – Incident Response to oversee the full incident response lifecycle for a premier casino entertainment organization. This role will manage day-to-day incident response operations, drive continuous improvement of threat detection capabilities, and lead a critical transition of MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) services to a new partner. The ideal candidate brings deep incident response leadership experience, strong technical detection knowledge, and proven success managing complex vendor transitions in a cybersecurity context.

Key Responsibilities

Incident Response Leadership

  • Oversee the full incident response lifecycle: preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident lessons learned (per NIST SP 800-61 or similar frameworks)
  • Manage day-to-day incident response operations, including triage, investigation coordination, forensic analysis, and executive-level reporting
  • Develop, maintain, and regularly test incident response playbooks, runbooks, and escalation procedures

Detection Engineering & Capability Enhancement

  • Drive continuous improvement of threat detection engineering, including SIEM rule tuning, EDR/XDR configuration, threat intelligence integration, and behavioral analytics
  • Collaborate with SOC, threat hunting, and security engineering teams to reduce false positives and accelerate MTTD/MTTR
  • Lead initiatives to mature internal blue-team capabilities across endpoints, cloud, identity, network, and email environments

MSSP Transition Management

  • Lead the end-to-end transition of MSSP services from the current provider to a new partner, including planning, knowledge transfer, contract/SLA alignment, and cutover execution
  • Conduct due diligence on the new MSSP, define transition success criteria, and mitigate risks during handover
  • Establish governance for the new MSSP relationship, including performance monitoring, service reviews, and incident handoff protocols
  • Ensure the transition strengthens rather than disrupts detection and response effectiveness

Team Leadership & Development

  • Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing incident response team of internal analysts, responders, and cross-functional partners
  • Provide performance management, career development, and technical coaching to team members
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning through tabletop exercises, red/blue team simulations, and post-incident reviews

Stakeholder Collaboration & Reporting

  • Serve as primary point of contact for major incidents, briefing executive leadership, legal, compliance, and external regulators as needed
  • Coordinate with IT, legal, risk, business units, and external partners (e.g., law enforcement, forensics firms) during incidents
  • Produce executive-level reports on incident trends, program maturity, detection improvements, and transition status

Program Maturity & Compliance

  • Align incident response practices with industry standards (NIST, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.) and regulatory requirements
  • Drive metrics-driven improvements and maturity assessments for the IR program
  • Contribute to enterprise-wide security initiatives, including vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and security awareness

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience, including 5+ years in incident response, digital forensics, or security operations leadership
  • Proven experience leading cyber incident response teams and managing complex, high-impact incidents
  • Demonstrated success in vendor/MSSP transitions or outsourcing handovers in a cybersecurity context
  • Strong understanding of detection technologies (SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR, threat intelligence platforms)
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (Master's preferred)
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC GCFA/GCIH/GCTI, or similar

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in a regulated industry (finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, or gaming)
  • Hands-on technical experience with tools such as Splunk, Elastic, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, or similar
  • Prior experience building or maturing an internal SOC/IR function while reducing MSSP dependency

Why Join?
This is a high-visibility leadership opportunity to build and mature a critical incident response function, lead a strategic MSSP transition, and shape long-term security program maturity for a premier gaming organization.
