• Drive proactive threat hunting using Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), identity logs, endpoint telemetry, network logs, email security telemetry, and cloud activity logs.
• Ensure monitoring use cases are aligned to enterprise threats, critical assets, privileged activity, identity risks, application exposure, and business priorities to maximize detection coverage and relevance.
• Own SOC reporting including alert volume, true positive rate, incident trends, recurring control gaps, service levels, and remediation follow-up to provide leadership with clear and timely visibility into security posture.
• Lead post-incident reviews and ensure lessons learned are converted into sustainable, measurable control improvements.
• Lead and mentor SOC analysts during investigations, major incidents, and high-pressure escalations, building a team capable of responding effectively under demanding conditions.
• Coordinate cross-functional incident responses with infrastructure, application, network, cloud, database, and country IT teams to ensure containment and resolution are timely and well-organized.
• Communicate incident status, evidence, containment plans, and business impact clearly to both technical teams and senior management.
• Foster a resilience-focused SOC culture that enables business operations while systematically reducing cyber risk.
