Cyber Defense Incident Responder
We are seeking a Cyber Defense Incident Responder to help protect critical systems, applications, and information from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor security events, investigate suspected incidents, and coordinate timely responses to reduce risk and limit operational impact. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, application, and risk teams to identify malicious activity, contain threats, and restore affected services securely.
Your responsibilities will include triaging alerts from security monitoring platforms, conducting investigations across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud environments, and analysing logs and other digital evidence to determine the scope and root cause of incidents. You will develop and execute incident response playbooks, support containment and eradication activities, and provide clear updates to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role will also involve documenting incidents, producing post-incident reports, recommending improvements, and contributing to threat-hunting activities, detection engineering, and the continuous enhancement of security controls.
Applicants should have practical experience in cyber incident response, security operations, digital forensics, or a closely related discipline. You should be comfortable working with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, network monitoring, and ticketing or case management tools. Knowledge of common attack techniques, threat intelligence, security frameworks, and investigative methods is expected, along with the ability to interpret system, authentication, network, and endpoint telemetry. Relevant professional certifications are desirable. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to remain organised and make sound decisions under pressure. A proactive approach to learning, collaboration, and improving defensive capabilities will be highly valued.
