- Generate high-quality intelligence outputs, including threat profiles, risk narratives, contributions to the Security Risk Management Plan (SRMP) and other audit-ready documentation.
- Provide enriched indicators of compromise and attribution context during incident response activities, supporting containment and recovery efforts in collaboration with internal and customer security teams.
- Actively contribute to broader cyber security operations, supporting incident response, vulnerability management, endpoint security management, compliance activities, and continuous improvement initiatives as part of a small, cross-functional team.

**Qualifications & Experience**
