  • Data Collection & Normalization: Make sure logs and security data are gathered correctly, cleaned up, and organized so the team can analyze them effectively.
  • Digital Forensics: Examine systems, files, logs, and network data to understand what happened during security events.
  • Mentoring & Training: Help newer analysts grow by sharing your experience, offering guidance, and running training sessions when needed.
  • Technical / Process Guidance: Assist team members with technical questions, tool usage, investigation methods, and established response workflows.
  • Shift Leadership: Act as the point person during your shift: manage workload, oversee investigations, ensure smooth handoffs, and support teammates. Participate in a rotating on-call schedule as required.
  • Innovation: Look for opportunities to improve processes, recommend new tools or automations, and help refine how the team operates.
  • Here is What You Can Expect on a Typical Day:
  • Reviewing alerts and logs to identify potential threats or unusual activity.
  • Leading or assisting with active investigations and driving them toward containment and resolution.

  • Collaborating with IT, cloud, engineering, or other security teams to gather data or take action on investigations.
  • Sharing insights with teammates, helping them troubleshoot difficult cases, or walking them through an investigation technique.
  • Updating documentation, writing reports, or summarizing incident findings.
  • Teaching something new to the team—maybe a tool trick, a technique, or a better approach to analysis.
  • Handling shift responsibilities like queue management, monitoring ongoing investigations, and tracking priorities.
  • Identifying process gaps or tools that could be improved and proposing better ways to do things.
  • Perform other tasks required by management as needed
