• Playbook Development: Own the development, refinement, and testing of incident response plans, runbooks, and tabletop exercises to ensure readiness.
• Threat Intelligence Integration: Leverage threat intelligence to enrich incident investigations and improve response capabilities.
• Metrics & Reporting: Establish KPIs and provide regular reporting on incident trends, response performance, and operational risks to leadership.
• Tooling & Automation: Partner with engineering and SOC teams to enhance incident response tooling, case management platforms, and response automation.
• Compliance & Readiness: Ensure incident management aligns with regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, PCI), customer expectations, and industry best practices (e.g., NIST, ISO 27035).
