Perform vulnerability management and remediation activities, prioritizing mitigation efforts based on business impact.
Perform enterprise security operations and incident response activities, leveraging SIEM, threat intelligence, analytics, and MSSP SOC to detect and mitigate risks, participate in periodic threat assessments and penetration testing, and post-incident reviews to strengthen organizational resilience.
Define and track risk metrics on key cybersecurity performance indicators (KPIs) including health, incidents, and strategic initiatives and provide executive reports to the Director of Information Security & Compliance, CIO and IT leadership.
Evaluate emerging threats and technologies, recommending appropriate security solutions through demonstrations, pilots and proof-of-concept/value work efforts.
Collaborate across IT disciplines (systems, networking, applications) to ensure end-to-end resilience, visibility, and alignment of security priorities with operational needs.
