- Support the implementation and maintenance of identity controls, including conditional access and device compliance policies.
- Partner with Infrastructure, Cloud, and End User Compute teams to improve patching, hardening, and device security standards. Assist in developing technical runbooks and incident response procedures.
- Provide technical documentation and evidence for regulatory audits and assessments. Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies.
Qualifications & Experience:- 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security operations, or security engineering.
- Proven experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (or similar EDR solutions) and SIEM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar).
- Strong familiarity with Azure or other major cloud platforms, alongside scripting/automation experience (PowerShell, Python, or KQL).
- Demonstrated track record of conducting security investigations and handling incident response activities.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience. Possession of at least one relevant certification (e.g., Security+, SC-200, CySA+) is highly preferred.
This is a nationwide, remote opportunity.
