  • Analyze event logs from internet-facing servers to detect cybersecurity events promptly.
  • Identify, document, and address gaps in controls, policies, and configurations.
  • Assess risks associated with non-compliance and prioritize remediation efforts accordingly.
  • Review exceptions where restrictive controls are not applied, validating the adequacy of compensating controls.
  • Assess and implement Microsoft recommended Blocklist (MRB) across workstations.
  • Conduct Business Impact Assessments to evaluate operational impacts of MRB-listed application blocks.

Internal and General Use Responsibilities:

  • Validate current 'LOLBAS' blocking coverage against the MRB to ensure alignment.
  • Develop and implement compensating controls for applications that cannot be blocked operationally.
  • Document all changes related to MRB implementation, ensuring alignment with Essential Eight ML2 requirements for audit readiness.
  • Extract and analyze application usage data from Microsoft Defender to monitor compliance.
  • Implement continuous monitoring to ensure MRB remains current and effective against emerging vulnerabilities.
  • Apply MRB blocking rules considering role-based access control (RBAC) for different user groups, including privileged and standard users.

  • Proven experience in system hardening, security auditing, or compliance frameworks.
  • Familiarity with the ASD Essential Eight and Microsoft security baselines.
  • Strong knowledge of Windows event logging and PowerShell security features.
