Key Responsibilities:

• Manage daily security tools and incidents.

• Collaborate with the Security Operations Center (SOC) and other teams to enhance overall security.
• Participate in projects related to operational security.
• Respond on-call or on standby based on incident criticality.
• Handle security incidents (analysis, escalation, resolution) including documentation.
• Coordinate different teams for incident resolution or security improvement.
• Analyze network flows and correlate with alerts.
• Contribute to securing network architectures, configuration relevance, and exception management (impact and risk analysis).
• Participate in tuning protection and detection rules, especially on network security tools (WAF, IDS/IPS, NDR, Proxy, etc.).
• Establish exception management (impact and risk analysis).
• Provide transversal support on security tools.
• Conduct post-mortem analysis of incidents: technical retrospectives, recommendations, and follow-up on action plans with the ITSM team.
• Process alerts (SIEM, WAF, etc.) from the SOC and/or security tools.
