Must haves: Threat hunting, proactive threat detection and response with experience working in a security operations center

Job Description:

• The person in this role will serve as their dedicated threat hunter
• Besides threat detection and response, responsibility includes incident management: documenting incidents, communicating effectively, and transforming insights into actionable knowledge.
• The role will focus on tracking activities consistently over time, ensuring continuous monitoring and improvement of our threat response strategies. Currently, when they receive an alert, they determine if it's real or a false positive. However, there's a gap in correlating incidents over time. For example, if they close an incident with no further alerts for eight months, and then encounter another similar incident, the connection is often missed or handled on a best-effort basis.
• Someone who understands prime days for potential attacks and willing to work those hours
• Teamwork, collaboration is essential as they will be the sole person primarily accountable for overseeing operations from a security perspective.
• They do not require a full-time cybersecurity expert
• This role requires someone with sufficient knowledge and experience in a Security Operations Center environment, focusing mainly on the analyst aspects, not policy creation.
• HM understands that many professionals do not spend their entire careers in a SOC and may not start their careers in security roles. Therefore, will consider each candidate's background carefully.
