Cyber Defense Incident Responder
We are seeking a Cyber Defense Incident Responder to protect critical systems, networks, applications, and data from cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor security events, investigate suspected incidents, coordinate containment and recovery activities, and help strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, applications, risk, and business teams to ensure incidents are handled promptly, consistently, and with minimal operational impact.
Key responsibilities include triaging and analysing alerts from security monitoring platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, network sensors, identity systems, and other data sources. You will conduct host- and network-based investigations, identify indicators of compromise, scope affected assets, preserve evidence, and document findings in accordance with established procedures. You will lead or support incident response activities such as containment, eradication, system recovery, and post-incident review. The role will also involve developing and improving playbooks, contributing to threat hunting, tracking vulnerabilities and attack trends, and providing clear technical and executive-level incident reports. Participation in an on-call or out-of-hours response rota may be required.
Applicants should have experience in cyber incident response, security operations, digital forensics, or a closely related discipline, along with a strong understanding of common attack techniques, malware behaviour, network protocols, authentication, cloud environments, and operating systems. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, ticketing, forensic, and threat intelligence tools is expected. You should be confident analysing complex information, making sound decisions under pressure, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable. A methodical approach, strong attention to detail, sound judgement, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
