Operate and fine-tune endpoint detection and response coverage (Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike) and assist with firewall, IDS/IPS, and Fortinet edge controls under senior direction.
Conduct vulnerability scans, track patches and remediation efforts, and tune alerts to reduce false positives while maintaining detection coverage.

Prevent data loss through unsanctioned Shadow AI while enabling approved AI services such as Microsoft 365 Copilot for safe and productive use.
Support compliance with relevant frameworks and regulations (ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, GDPR where applicable).
Perform risk and control-maturity assessments, track remediation, and support third‑party/partner risk reviews; provide audit-ready evidence.
Assist with investigation, containment, and recovery during security incidents under the direction of the senior owner.
Contribute to incident response runbooks and tabletop exercises; support business continuity and disaster recovery readiness.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in information security, IT, or computer science, or equivalent experience.
Three to five years or more of cybersecurity experience.
Hands-on experience with security tooling such as SIEM, endpoint/EDR, IDS/IPS, firewalls, DLP, antivirus, and vulnerability scanners.
Working knowledge of the Microsoft security stack (Defender XDR, Purview) and administration and security of Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365.
Experience supporting incident response and compliance with frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, or SOC 2.
