Key responsibilities include monitoring and analysing security alerts, endpoint activity, network traffic, identity events and other indicators of compromise. You will triage incidents, determine scope and severity, coordinate containment and eradication activities, and provide clear updates to technical and senior stakeholders.

Professional qualifications such as CISSP, GIAC, GCIH, GCFA or equivalent are desirable. You will bring sound judgement, excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and effective during high-pressure incidents.
