  • Implement forensic toolkits and processes for evidence collection, chain of custody, and root cause analysis.
  • Work with legal and compliance teams during fraud, litigation, or regulatory investigations.

  • 7. Threat Hunting & Use Case Engineering

  • 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

  • Evaluate and onboard modern technologies like XDR, UEBA, cloud-native SOC, and AI / ML-driven detections.
  • Guide the transformation of the SOC to address modern threats including AI misuse, cloud compromise, and SaaS security risks.
