  • Collaborate with the Cyber Response Technology and Automation lead to deploy the necessary tools for effective threat hunting.

  • Utilize Control Risks and external data sources to investigate threats, vulnerabilities, and intelligence on various attackers and attack methodologies, to develop hunting playbooks and mitigation strategies.
  • Work in tandem with our Cyber Threat Intelligence team to share threat hunting playbooks with the incident response team.

Incident Response

  • Oversee investigations based on host and network data, leveraging the Digital Forensics Incident Response (DFIR) team to execute the necessary work.
  • Manage the entire lifecycle of cyber incidents, including identification, containment, eradication, and recovery.
  • Conduct threat hunting using EDR tools to assess an attacker's spread through systems and networks, anticipating and countering further activities.
  • Perform live compromise assessments for organizations suspecting a breach.
  • Identify and hunt for unknown live, dormant, and custom malware in memory across multiple systems within an enterprise environment.
  • Exhibit a profound understanding of both existing and emerging threat actors, along with experience in recognizing rapidly evolving tools, tactics, and procedures used by attackers.
  • Collaborate closely with the Cyber Threat Intelligence team to identify opportunities for leveraging technical insights gained during Cyber Response cases.
  • Advise on the secure technical recovery of an organization's IT systems, balancing the need for understanding past incidents with the urgency of recovery.

Client Management

  • Assist in managing client relationships, facilitating introductions and the provision of additional technical services as appropriate.
  • Work in close partnership with Cyber Response Management to ensure a unified go-to-market strategy.
  • Ensure that developed tools and automation are user-friendly for clients, addressing any queries that may arise from their use.

Reporting

  • Deliver situation reports and other significant case-related documentation to clients and the Director of Cyber Response.
  • Provide necessary documentation to relevant consultants in a timely manner for review and feedback prior to client submission.
  • Report on the performance of Technical Cyber Response activities and forecast technical and resource needs for both the short and long term.
  • Ensure that the output from tools and automation is clear and presentable, both during cases in situation reports and in formal end-of-case reports.

Supporting the Growth of the Cyber Response Practice

  • Refine Control Risks' cyber response methodologies and approaches, adapting to changing market conditions.
  • This role requires availability for on-call duties.
  • Identify potential new areas for growth and opportunity.

Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience leading cyber response cases.
  • Technical degree or proven knowledge of common networks, software, and hardware utilized in business settings.
  • Experience in conducting log analysis and digital forensics following cyber incidents.
  • Proven track record in responding to cyber attacks and providing information security-related advisory services.
