  • Ensure deliverables include scenario documentation, participant actions, gaps identified, and remediation plans.
  • 5. Process Development & Optimization

  • Own the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of SOC playbooks, SOPs, and runbooks across tiers.
  • 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

  • Collaborate with L3 analysts to ensure threat intelligence is operationalized into detection content and hunt scenarios.
