  • Drive proactive threat hunting campaigns based on TTPs, behavior anomalies, and threat intelligence.
  • Identify gaps in existing controls and coordinate with SOC engineering teams to develop new use cases.
  • Regularly evaluate and improve detection content using MITRE ATT&CK, Sigma rules, and custom scripts.
  • 8. Technology Modernization & Innovation
