You Are passionate about security, love what you do and have a genuine desire to outsmart the bad guys. You have the experience to analyze a clients' security posture, anticipate security requirements and help find right-sized solutions based on industry leading practices. You have a proven track record working successfully in a fast-paced, agile environment. You're a creative, analytical problem solver with above average documentation skills who can speak to both technical and non-technical audiences. You are eager to put your skills to use by helping us help our clients inject security at every level of their organization.
The Work
The successful candidate will have a team-oriented, client-facing mindset with proven experience conducting EDR infrastructure deployment. You will help clients identify high impact threat scenarios and execute proof of concepts for prevention, detection, and response using customized endpoint security architectures. You'll use your deep insights to identify, recommend and execute resolution for malware and other EDR-detected incidents while helping to develop and execute methodologies for EDR deployment, feature enablement and technical integration in a SOC.
No client or project will be the same. One day will find you designing architectures across AV, Next Gen AV and EDR, and the next you'll be threat hunting, leveraging EDR, analytics and other security capabilities in order to solve pressing client challenges. You will integrate EDR into SecOps platforms like SIEM, SOAR and ITSM, and will help develop EDR configuration and operational guides. If you have the desire, you'll work as a technical lead on some of these projects.
