• • As a Senior MDR Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding our clients' digital assets. Your primary responsibility will be to meticulously analyze and evaluate anomalous network and system events within a 24/7 Security Operation Center (SOC) environment. This involves conducting sophisticated, leadless threat hunting to proactively identify potential security breaches before they can cause significant damage. You will collaborate closely with other MDR Analysts, researching and investigating emerging cybersecurity threats to stay ahead of adversaries. Your expertise will be crucial as you become an escalation point of contact for advanced intrusion analysis, tackling the most complex security incidents.
