  • Perform forensic investigations to determine the root cause of incidents and develop appropriate remediation strategies.
  • Lead regular threat hunt activities to identify and investigate gaps in detection.
  • Utilize threat intelligence and industry best practices to enhance incident detection capabilities.

What we'll want you to have:
  • 8+ years of cyber incident response experience in a large and complex environment. Relevant industry certifications are highly desirable (CISSP, GCIH, GFCA, GREM, ECIH).
  • Subject matter expertise with security tools and technologies, such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR, and network monitoring solutions.
  • Strong knowledge of incident response methodologies, including containment, eradication, recovery, and common security frameworks (NIST, SANS, CSA).
  • Ability to acquire and analyze endpoint and network artifacts, volatile memory, malicious files/binaries and scripts.
  • Experience with forensic tools, such as Encase, FTK, Axiom, and Cellebrite to carry out digital forensic investigations.
  • Collaborate with other forensic analysts, law enforcement officers, and legal experts to identify methods and procedures for recovery, preservation, and presentation of computer evidence, ensuring proper precautions are taken in the preservation and prevention of spoliation of electronic evidence.
