- Assess and manage SOC resource needs to maintain optimal performance.
- Use Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to aggregate and analyze security logs for threat detection.
- Oversee real-time alert monitoring and triage, incident report intake and coordination, incident analysis, forensic and malware analysis, and containment, eradication, and recovery activities.
- Provide oversight and guidance for all cyber incidents, and ensure incidents are closed only after all remediation and reporting activities are complete.
- Coordinate with external organizations, including CISA and partner SOCs, under the direction of the client lead.
- Coordinate fly-away incident response at remote locations when directed, with the team able to deploy within 24 hours.
- Support the SOC Performance and Investment Metrics Program, and generate reports on security incidents and trends, communicating key findings to senior management.
