Cybersecurity Incident Handling Specialist

Hiring: Cybersecurity Incident Handling Specialist

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Cybersecurity Incident Handling Specialist to join our team as an augmented resource. This is a crucial role for a hands-on professional who can act as the primary go-to expert for all cybersecurity matters beyond routine SOC operations.

Overview

Immediate joiners are preferred due to the projects urgency.

As an embedded expert from CyberGate, you will be the main point of contact for cybersecurity incidents, leading and coordinating response activities from detection to closure. This is a senior-level, hands-on role that requires strong analytical skills and the ability to provide strategic input. We are not looking for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 SOC analyst; we need a professional who can act decisively and independently in a high-stakes environment.

• Hands-on Investigation: Provide hands-on support in triaging, investigating, and resolving complex security events.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Work with internal departments and external partners to ensure timely and effective incident management.
• Post-Incident Analysis: Contribute to post-incident reviews, root cause analyses, and recommend long-term security improvements.
• Threat Intelligence: Monitor and track evolving threats, vulnerabilities, and risks to proactively advise the organization.
• Strategic Advisory: Advise IT and business units on cybersecurity best practices, risk mitigation, and secure configurations.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the SOC to ensure alignment and prevent duplication of efforts.
  
  

• Solid understanding of security operations, threat intelligence, and the attack lifecycle.
• Strong analytical, investigation, and incident-solving skills.
• Proven experience in a similar cybersecurity incident handling or response role.
• The ability to act as a strategic advisor and handle complex security challenges independently.
  
  

• Be the go-to expert in a critical role with high visibility.
• Work on a high-impact project with a leading organization.
• Join a team that values proactive security and decisive action.
