  • Experience tuning, managing and remediating alerts in at least one Cyber Security tool, such as: a SIEM, EDR, UEBA or DLP solution.
  • A detailed understanding of network infrastructure, system and application architecture and associated security controls within highly complex environments.
  • Robust risk management understanding and capabilities.
  • Experience with Security Information and Event Monitoring solutions.
  • Experience with Data Loss Prevention technologies.
