  3. Conduct forensic analysis of digital artifacts, logs, and network traffic to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs) and evidence of unauthorized access.

  5. Perform threat hunting activities to proactively identify and respond to potential security threats and vulnerabilities.

  6. Assist in the development and implementation of security controls, policies, and procedures to protect against cyber threats and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

  7. Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration tests to identify and prioritize security vulnerabilities in systems and applications.

  8. Provide security awareness training and guidance to employees on security best practices, phishing awareness, and incident response procedures.

  9. Maintain documentation of security incidents, investigations, and response activities, including incident reports, post-incident reviews, and evidence collected.
