- Support incident response activities by collecting basic information, documenting observations, creating tickets, tracking actions, and coordinating with senior analysts or technical teams during investigations.
- Perform or support vulnerability assessment activities, including reviewing scan results, validating findings, tracking remediation progress, and maintaining vulnerability records.
- Assist in the configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of technical security tools and controls used across endpoint, network, server, cloud, or application environments.
- Review logs, alerts, and system behavior to help identify anomalies, suspicious patterns, or indicators of compromise.
- Support endpoint and system security activities such as patch follow-up, antivirus status checks, system hardening coordination, access reviews, and compliance with basic security baselines.
- Work with internal teams to raise, track, and follow up on security issues, remediation actions, and operational tasks related to threats, vulnerabilities, or system weaknesses.
- Prepare and maintain technical documentation such as incident notes, vulnerability trackers, asset observations, investigation records, standard operating procedures, and security support documents.
- Stay updated on emerging cyber threats, attacker techniques, common vulnerabilities, and security technologies relevant to operational defense and monitoring.
