DFIR Lead

This role involves owning end-to-end forensic investigations across endpoints, cloud platforms, and network infrastructure — from initial triage to root cause, including IoC identification, data exfiltration, and unauthorized access. You will coordinate and lead the DFIR team across active investigations, ensuring consistent methodology, evidence integrity, and investigative velocity. Additional responsibilities include pulling and analyzing logs from EDR/XDR, SIEM, DLP, IdP, and email gateway platforms to reconstruct precise attack and user activity timelines.
