• SIEM Engineering: Manage and optimize LogRhythm, ensuring high-fidelity log ingestion from diverse sources (firewalls, servers, applications) and developing custom correlation rules to detect anomalous behaviour.
• Hardware Security: Oversee the security of physical assets, including firmware updates, BIOS hardening, and secure lifecycle management of server hardware.
• Incident Response: Serve as a technical lead during security incidents, performing root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
