  • Experience with SIEM platforms, detection engineering and security monitoring.
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Intune, endpoint management and endpoint security.
  • Experience with penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
  • Scripting, automation and a willingness to experiment with AI technologies.
