• Perform infrastructure and security monitoring using SIEM, XDR, EDR, vulnerability management, ITSM, and infrastructure monitoring platforms.
• Support investigation and remediation of infrastructure and security incidents through log collection, technical analysis, troubleshooting, validation, and documentation.
• Execute vulnerability remediation, patching, configuration changes, system hardening, upgrades, and other approved technical changes following client change-management processes.
• Develop and maintain client-facing technical documentation including assessment results, configuration documents, implementation guides, test results, runbooks, standard operating procedures, technical diagrams, and knowledge-transfer materials.
• Document technical observations and findings and contribute to practical recommendations that consider security risk, business requirements, technical feasibility, and operational impact.
• Participate in solution testing, proof-of-concept activities, technical validation, and transition-to-operations activities.
• Perform knowledge-transfer activities with client infrastructure, security, and operations teams as required.
• Work collaboratively with client stakeholders, technology vendors, internal consultants, security architects, and infrastructure teams throughout engagement delivery.
• Assist in developing reusable consulting assets such as assessment checklists, implementation patterns, configuration standards, scripts, templates, and automation.
• Develop automation for repetitive administrative and security activities using PowerShell, Bash, Python, APIs, or equivalent technologies where appropriate.
• Maintain awareness of emerging infrastructure, cloud, and cybersecurity technologies and continuously develop technical capabilities relevant to consulting engagements.
