  • Demonstrated ability to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents and threats using tools like SIEM systems and other security technologies.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret security data, identifying patterns and trends, and make informed decisions to enhance the organization's security posture.
  • Experience in incident response, including containment, eradication, and recovery procedures to minimize the impact of security breaches.
  • Proven ability to analyze security data, identify patterns, and trends, and solve complex security challenges effectively.
  • Keen attention to detail to recognize anomalies and potential security risks within large datasets and logs. Contribute effectively to the team wiki, write and publish standard operating procedures.
