Responsibilities
• Analyze, deploy, integrate, and monitor security tools, including connecting sources such as AWS, HubSpot, Canvas, and MacBook endpoints (Mosyle, Bitdefender) into our Huntress SIEM.

• Create proofs of concept and develop capabilities using AI to demonstrate what is possible and accelerate the security program.
• Compile and update runbooks to respond to possible security scenarios.
• Track assets, users, and files to ensure the security process is followed by our security design and zero trust architecture.
• Write and maintain simple scripts and utilities to automate routine security checks across the Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.
• Help track and report key metrics such as average time to detect/respond/contain, false positive rate, failed login rate, patch compliance rate, and vulnerability exposure time.
• Assist in other capacities around Governance, Risk, and Compliance as needed.
