Independently identify, contain, analyze, document, and eradicate malicious activity in accordance with established procedures.
Escalate intrusion events, security incidents, threat indicators, and warning information to the appropriate client and stakeholders.
Look for practical ways to use AI tools thoughtfully to work smarter, reduce manual work, and make better decisions faster.
