You’ll be hands-on with the latest cybersecurity technologies, and your work will directly contribute to identifying vulnerabilities and securing client systems.

• Support SOC Team and Enhance Efficiency: Your collaboration with the SOC team will be crucial to ensuring that security operations run smoothly. You’ll support the team with query optimizations, ensuring that security alerts and incident responses are as accurate and efficient as possible.
