Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and event data, triaging potential incidents, carrying out investigations and supporting containment, eradication and recovery activities. You will analyse logs and indicators of compromise, contribute to vulnerability management, and assist with the deployment and tuning of security tools such as SIEM, endpoint detection and response, firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.
