Job Summary

The Incident Response Analyst identifies technical risks and executes response actions to protect corporate assets from evolving cyber threats.

• Monitor internal systems and external intelligence sources for leaked credentials or exposed data to enable proactive account resets.

• Conduct technical validation scans and log reviews to confirm threat removal and verify that no lateral movement exists within the network.
• Transition alerts from initial filtering to detailed investigations in coordination with external service providers.
• Perform independent scans to confirm technical gaps are resolved rather than assuming a system is safe because a ticket was closed.
