  • Partner with the team members across multiple regions to drive response and investigations globally.
  • Organization and facilitation of scenario-based exercises to test and improve incident management and response strategies.
  • Maintenance of existing playbooks and procedures, as well as developing new ones, to further standardize SIC and its partners' responses when verifying MSIs.
  • Contribute to the organization and completion of Post-Incident Reviews (PIRs) and Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) following major security incidents.
  • Identify new ways to simplify, integrate, automate and refine the major security incident process to better support internal and external stakeholders.
