Ability to conduct post-incident reviews and lessons-learned sessions following significant cyber events, identifying process gaps, detection failures, and response inefficiencies, and translating findings into actionable improvements for the GCC CSSP.
Serve as a technical leader by providing mentorship to associate-level staff, performing quality assurance reviews of team output.
Develop, maintain, and exercise incident response playbooks for common attack scenarios (ransomware, phishing, credential theft, insider threat), ensuring procedures remain current with the evolving threat landscape, Army policy requirements, and mission success.
