# Cyber Security Specialist (AI Defenses)

- **Company:** Dale Workforce Solutions
- **Location:** United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Information Leak Prevention, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Python (Programming Language), Routing, Phishing, Kusto Query Language, Security Information and Event Management, Scripting
- **Published:** June 15, 2026

## About the Role

* Security operations/detection engineering/IR experience with SIEM/SOAR workflows; automation/scripting skills (e.g., Python, KQL/SPL).
 * Working knowledge of AI/ML risk patterns (prompt injection, data leakage, and over-trust of outputs).

## Description

* Accelerate detection and triage: Implement AI-assisted alert enrichment (context correlation, reputation checks, summarization) and tune detections to reduce noise and improve prioritization
 * Expand AI threat coverage: Build and maintain detections, correlations, and playbooks for AI-enabled threats (deepfakes, synthetic phishing/impersonation, prompt injection, risky plugins/connectors, and anomalous AI tool usage), with routine testing and tuning.
 * Operationalize AI monitoring and response: Establish monitoring for AI tools (identity, device, data, network, audit/DLP signals) and publish AI incident response runbooks with escalation criteria, evidence standards, and tabletop validation.

Measures of Success (First 6-12 Months)

 * Detection catalog in production: Publish an AI threat detection catalog mapped to telemetry sources and deploy an initial prioritized detection set with a monthly tuning cadence.
 * Faster, cleaner triage: Reduce repeat false positives and improve time-to-triage/time-to-escalation for AI-related alerts through enrichment and tuning.
 * Monitored guardrails: Stand up baseline monitoring and anomaly thresholds for approved AI tools and deliver recurring executive-ready reporting on risky usage patterns and remediation.
 * Validated response capability: Publish AI-focused IR runbooks and validate via tabletop exercises; feed lessons learned into playbooks and detection tuning.
