• Threat Intelligence: Assist in gathering and analyzing threat intelligence data from various sources to understand emerging threats and vulnerabilities. Implement IOCs into the threat intelligence platform and confer with other teams on mitigation and defense strategy. Share insights with relevant teams to enhance overall security posture.
• Hunting Activities: Develop and execute threat-hunting strategies and hypotheses to uncover hidden threats that evade conventional security measures.
• Tool Development: Assist in the development and implementation of automated tools and scripts to improve threat detection and response capabilities.
• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain thorough documentation of findings, investigations, and methodologies. Present findings to stakeholders and contribute to regular security reports.
• Collaboration: Work closely with incident response, security operations, and IT teams to improve threat detection and incident response capabilities.
• Training and Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior threat hunters and security analysts, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
