2. Runbook Execution and Improvement

• Execute established response runbooks rigorously.
• Identify deficiencies, raise tuning requests, and update knowledge-base articles to enhance future efficiency and accuracy.

3. Threat Hunting

• Lead a theme-based hunt one week per month, focusing on recent CVEs, adversary techniques, or emerging threat campaigns. 
• Deliver written reports detailing methodologies, findings, and coverage gaps. 

4. Incident Response Support

• Provide containment and initial investigation for Priority 1 and Priority 2 incidents.
• Participate in a scheduled weekend and after-hours on-call rotation, operating in tandem with Detection & Response engineers.

5. Vulnerability Signal Validation

• Evaluate vulnerability-scanner outputs, confirm exploitability in the production environment, and liaise with remediation teams by issuing precise, risk-driven tickets.

• Familiarity with scripting for enrichment tasks (Python or PowerShell) is advantageous but not mandatory.
