• Perform configuration, installation, enablement, and maintenance of security products and services.
• Research and implement solutions to technical problems, including design changes to client environments.
• Maintain deployed security, network, and cloud environments to ensure continued operational performance.
• Perform network administration tasks, including client trouble tickets and design changes.
• Monitor security events and investigate suspicious activities.
• Partner with SOC Analysts to develop and refine SIEM correlation rules and custom detection methods.
• Leverage platforms and services to gather data, generate reports, and support clients and other departments with analysis.

• Prepare and document standard operating procedures and protocols for security operations.
• Collaborate across teams and departments to address security concerns.
