Scope Of Position

As cybersecurity director, you will lead a team of data analysts, that oversees incident response, investigative analysis, and research on existing and emerging cyber threats, particularly those directed against the company’s global networks. The team’s tasks include taking part of leading the maturation and optimization of our EDR capability through the development of custom content that focuses on threat actor TTPs and reduces false positives. As a team leader you will be expected to implement “an adversary thinking mode" in your team, and have your team engage in threat hunting operations leveraging their understanding of the tactics, techniques and procedures employed by advanced threats combined with intelligence from multiple sources. Additionally, you will be expected to provide reporting and briefings to other teams and leadership in order to maintain appropriate levels of situational awareness. Responsibilities:

• Leading the development of host-based detection content in EDR solutions such as Crowd Strike, Microsoft Defender, other leading vendors
• Taking charge of network analysis and host activity associated with intrusion attempts by advanced attackers.
• Managing the performance of network traffic analysis utilizing raw packet data, net flow, IDS, and custom sensor output and mentor cyber analysts.
• Leading, supporting, and mentoring the team’s enterprise incident response efforts.
• Leveraging the team’s understanding of tactics, techniques and procedures associated with advanced threats to create and evolve custom detections that mitigate highly dynamic threats to the enterprise.
• Overseeing the employment of advanced forensic tools and techniques for attack reconstruction and threat intelligence gathering streamlining, documenting, and sharing updated processes.
• Directing the proactive research of advanced and emerging cyber threats, and the application of analytical understanding of attacker methodologies, system vulnerabilities, and key indicators of attacks and exploits in threat hunting efforts.
• Assuring the team’s contribution to threat intelligence reports and briefings that provide situational awareness of cyber threats impacting the company’s global network infrastructure, to every level of the organization.
• Directing the team’s collaboration efforts in using information and knowledge sharing networks and professional relationships to achieve common goals.
• Managing the team’s on-call support for incident response efforts outside of core hours as needed.
