My industry-leading client recognised this a long time ago and have since built a team of almost 30 of the very best InfoSec enthusiasts in the market. They're proud to utilise best-in-class, enterprise-level tools to identify threats to their systems - also well as their in-house developed products too.

As a team they pride their selves on being experts in all aspects of Infrastructure Security. They're "defenders"… and essentially are all about preventing access or any type of threat to the companies infrastructure. So as you can imagine they are a HUGE part of the cyber incident management process. They are a reviewer of alerts - SO not always fixing it, but 100% identifying the issue which can often be just as important.

It is super important stuff and therefore we're looking for someone who understands the impact that Info Security has upon a business. Someone who lives and breathes it and is ultimately passionate about being a major part of the Cyber Security incident management process at this organisation.
