During major incidents, you support the crisis team and ensure that technical insights are translated into clear advice and concrete actions.

You also dive into the technical details yourself. You conduct digital forensic investigations, analyse malware and reconstruct attacker behaviour. This enables you to determine the cause, impact and scope of an incident. You translate the lessons learned into improved playbooks, processes, monitoring, detection and automation.In addition, you participate in SOC activities and help develop our tier-less way of working. The goal is clear: more automation, continuous improvement and a minimum of manual effort.
