- Work closely with SOC analysts to improve alert effectiveness and investigative workflows.
- Assist with incident response activities and post-incident reviews.
- Assist with data protection initiatives involving sensitive information.
- Build out data protection / DLP systems, including classifications and policies.
- Partner with technical teams to strengthen controls surrounding sensitive data.
- Cloud & Endpoint Security
- Support monitoring and security initiatives across AWS and/or Azure environments.
- Integrate cloud telemetry into security monitoring platforms.
- Work with endpoint security technologies to improve detection and response capabilities.

- Develop scripts and automation to improve operational efficiency.
- Automate reporting, enrichment, data collection, and repetitive security tasks where appropriate.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, application, and security teams to improve overall security posture
- Stay current on emerging threats, tools, and industry best practices
