About this role
Technical leader responsible for spearheading the bank’s threat detection, hunting, and digital forensics capabilities.
Leadership & Strategy
• Define and execute the strategic roadmap for threat intel, hunting, and incident response • Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing threat hunters • Establish and continuously improve detection and response capabilities, processes, and tooling. • Develop key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure detection effectiveness, response times, and threat coverage. • Foster a collaborative “purple team” culture between defensive and offensive security teams to improve detection and resilience.
Threat Intelligence Operations
• Collect, analyze, and correlate data from multiple intelligence sources (open source, commercial, and internal). • Identify, track, and report on threat actors, campaigns, and emerging threats relevant to the organization’s industry. • Develop and maintain comprehensive threat profiles and intelligence reports. • Monitor the dark web, social media, and underground forums for indicators of potential threats and geopolitical, criminal, and hacktivist developments that may affect organizational risk. • Track emerging vulnerabilities, exploit kits, and malware families relevant to the industry and geopolitical. • Maintain awareness of evolving adversary capabilities and motivations. Solution Engineering
• Maintaining of SIEM solution including Splunk, Imperva and etc. (Task including compliance to patch and obsolescence framework requirement) • Ensure events / logs from all relavant devices are sending to SIEM solution in a complete and accurate manner • To produce monthly SIEM system health report (completeness and accurate) • Assist in the design, evaluation, and implementation of new security technologies
Proactive Threat Hunting
• Perform hypothesis-driven threat hunts using advanced analytics, behavioral patterns, and threat intelligence. • Analyze various logs sources to identify anomalous activities, potential compromises, and previously undetected threats • Develop and refine hunting methodologies and detection logic to improve visibility and coverage • Identify gaps in IT infrastructure by mimicking an attacker s behaviors and responses • Document and communicate hunting results, including risk impact and recommended mitigations.
Detection & Response
• Continuously develop, finetune and review SIEM use cases based on Mitre Attack framework and current threat landscape • Contribute to the continuous improvement of detection capabilities and automation processes. • Correlate data from multiple sources (network logs, endpoint telemetry, cloud environments) to detect stealthy or novel attacks. • Develop dashboards and reports to identify potential threats, suspicious/anomalous activity, internal threat landscape, etc. • Integrate intelligence indicators (IOCs, TTPs) into detection tools including SIEM, EDR/XDR, WAF, IDS/IPS and other relevant solution
Digital Forensic
• Lead response and investigation efforts into advanced/targeted attacks • Lead in incident response activities such as digital forensic, host triage and retrieval, malware analysis, remote system analysis, end-user interviews, and remediation efforts • Compile detailed investigation and analysis reports for internal SOC consumption and delivery to management • Provide expert analytic investigative support of large scale and complex security incidents • Perform Root Cause Analysis of security incidents for further enhancement of alert catalog
Incident Response
• Lead or support security incident investigations from detection through containment, eradication and recovery • Perform deep-dive and forensics analysis during ongoing or post-incident reviews. • Develop post-incident reports and lessons learned to drive improvements in detection and response capabilities
Research and Continuous Improvement
• Stay up to date with emerging threats, attacker behaviors, and cybersecurity trends. • Develop and maintain custom scripts and tools to automate hunting and analysis tasks (e.g., Python, PowerShell, or Bash).
• Knowledge sharing through internal training sessions and threat briefings. • Drive continuous improvement in intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination processes. • Mentor analysts and engineers on threat analysis methodologies • Participate in security audits and vendor assessments.
