Your mission: what can you expect from the job? 

You will be a part of our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team. In today’s digital world, organizations need to shift their approach to cyber security. Prevention alone is no longer sufficient! There is an ever growing need to have rapid detection and response capabilities in place. Organizations are looking at trusted strategic partners to offer the valuable expertise and knowhow, to fully unburden them in the domain of detection and response. That’s where we come in. We offer MDR as a value service to a multitude of customers across different verticals – all equally exciting. Your primary objective as an engineer will be to continuously enhance our detection and threat response capabilities across different complex customer environments and offer our customers ‘the comfort of knowing’. 

Key responsibilities: 

Research: Researching new methods to find malicious behaviour in customer environments, simulating them and translating the outcome into actionable detection. 

Best practice frameworks: Creating and continuously improving detection use cases, rules, and analytics. You also map these use cases to best-practice frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. 

Use Case Management: Activating and fine-tuning these use cases for customers. Maintaining the entire use case library in a version control system (Git) and simulating heat maps for customers to analyse detection coverage and gaps. 

Incident Response and Detection: Testing detection capabilities by simulating attacks in a lab environment. Validating detection capabilities on live customer environments and collaborating with the Incident Response teams to identify next steps, investigation, and response playbooks.
