This position is a hands-on role as a cyber security incident first- responder. An Incident Responder will provide a rapid initial response to any cyber security threats, incidents or cyber attacks on the organization. The responder will utilize a suite of forensic tools to enable investigations on any issues as they develop. Once the cause of the problem has been identified, you will need to restrict any damage, provide immediate workarounds, work with corporate communications, engineering, etc and if possible provide a solution or fix, so that any intrusion or threat to the organization is negated rapidly. Prepare and practice IR plans, perform tabletop exercises, etc. When not actively responding to incidents, you will proactively identify, research, and prioritize threats and associated threat actors.

  • Educate both security and non-security user groups on security topics

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

  • Strong experience in managing incident response and forensic tools

  • Moderate experience with socializing and building partnership on security programs and user expectations
  • Moderate experience with training and mentoring the entire company on security
  • Familiarity with security industry standards (ISO 17799, NIST 800 series, etc.) and best practices
