• Develop, document, and maintain standard operating procedures, runbooks, and playbooks that support incident detection, response, and escalation.
• Apply threat‑informed defense practices using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK to guide detection coverage, validate gaps, and enhance overall security posture.
• Tune detection logic, thresholds, correlations, and suppressions to reduce false positives and false negatives while maintaining strong visibility and coverage.
• Partner with SOC analysts and incident responders to close detection gaps identified during investigations and post‑incident reviews.
• Identify and implement automation and SOAR opportunities that improve investigation efficiency, response speed, and operational consistency.
• Maintain the operational health of security monitoring tools and telemetry pipelines, ensuring log quality, visibility, and consistent coverage across environments.
• Provide timely and accurate reporting on detection performance, trends, key metrics, and overall security activity to leadership and partners.
• Evaluate emerging security technologies, adversary tactics, and industry trends to strengthen detection and response capabilities.
• Investigate and triage security alerts, determining scope, impact, and severity while documenting case details and findings.
• Participate in the rotational SOC responder schedule, including on‑call coverage when required.
