About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Analyze, deploy, integrate, and monitor security tools, including connecting sources such as AWS, HubSpot, Canvas, and MacBook endpoints (Mosyle, Bitdefender) into our Huntress SIEM.
Review security baselines for configurations to identify gaps, then work with IT to close those gaps (e.g., CIS Benchmark, Vendor Best Practices)
Assist in monitoring security controls in support of SOC 2 (and future HITRUST) compliance assessments.
Monitor security dashboards, alerts, cyber incidents, and participate in tabletop exercises to improve the detection and response posture.
Study user and system behavior to strengthen our security awareness training (KnowBe4) by turning real-world signal into targeted, relevant education for our team.
Work closely with the product team (engineering, product management, and quality assurance) to ensure security monitoring is in place throughout the SDLC
Create proofs of concept and develop capabilities using AI to demonstrate what is possible and accelerate the security program.
Compile and update runbooks to respond to possible security scenarios.
Track assets, users, and files to ensure the security process is followed by our security design and zero trust architecture.
Write and maintain simple scripts and utilities to automate routine security checks across the Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.
Help track and report key metrics such as average time to detect/respond/contain, false positive rate, failed login rate, patch compliance rate, and vulnerability exposure time.
Assist in other capacities around Governance, Risk, and Compliance as needed.
