  • Develop and update incident response playbooks based on lessons learned from investigations.

  • Contribute to security architecture improvements and best practices development.
  • SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

  • Proficiency in using SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, IBM QRadar, LogRhythm, according to ITU Online IT Training) and other security technologies (e.g., EDR, IDS / IPS, packet analyzers).
  • Hands-on experience with Cisco security products is highly valued.
  • Experience in handling security incidents and conducting forensic analysis.
  • Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell) for task automation and data analysis.
