  • Align SOC processes with customer onboarding requirements (log source validation, escalation matrix, SLA definitions, tooling integration).
  • Drive change control and governance for detection rule updates, log onboarding, and tooling enhancements.
  • 6. Threat Intelligence & Strategic Defense
