• Create detection rules, signatures, and playbooks to improve alert accuracy and reduce false positives.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of attack vectors, malware, exploits, and emerging threat landscape.
• Document incidents, investigation processes, and contribute to continuous improvement of NDR capabilities.
