  • Communicate technical risks through high-quality reports, explaining the potential business impact to stakeholders with clarity.
  • Collaborate with Detection Engineers and SOC teams to turn findings into long-term security playbooks.
  • Monitor the evolving threat landscape through continuous learning and collaboration with national cybersecurity bodies.
