Maintain and refresh Threat Intelligence news reports for Senior Management; stay informed about emerging threats and TTPs discussed in underground and APT forums.

Security Reporting, Training & Development:

Compile monthly security reports and quarterly Steercom reports covering SOC activities, incident response, threat intelligence, Secure Score, and dark web monitoring findings.
