• Demonstrate the ability to pivot to other log sources, cloud systems or consoles to perform a comprehensive analysis from multiple data sources.


• Have a  basic understanding of modern EDR, email security and cloud identity platforms


• A desire to support others and uplift the program and team through updating training materials and SOPs


• Strong written and verbal communication skills including  the ability to write well-written reports and analysis that’s thorough, accurate and complete.
