• Assess, deploy, and improve security technologies that strengthen the organization’s protection capabilities.
• Take part in incident response work, including investigation of security events and implementation of corrective actions.
• Work with other teams to introduce preventive controls that reduce exposure to security threats.

Candidates should understand Microsoft enterprise technologies such as Azure, Active Directory, SQL, Office 365, and Windows server and desktop systems. Experience with security frameworks including NIST, CIS-18, and ISO is valuable, along with hands-on use of tools such as SIEM, DLP, SOAR, IAM, endpoint security, and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
