- Conduct deep-dive assessments of internal networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure.
- Develop and tune SIEM detections, analytics rules, and alerts based on attack simulations and real incidents together with the Security Operations team.
- Validate alert quality, reduce false positives, and improve signal‑to‑noise ratio.
- Validate coverage of detections against known TTPs and identify detection gaps.
- Support and enhance incident response playbooks, escalation paths, and response automation.
- Conduct hypothesis‑driven threat hunts based on attacker tradecraft and threat intelligence.
