Design, engineer, and optimize AI-powered workflows that automate and enhance cyber defense operations, including alert triage, threat hunting, incident response, vulnerability management, and security analytics.
-
Map and analyze existing security operations processes to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for AI-driven automation and orchestration.
-
Build and maintain workflow orchestration pipelines that integrate AI/ML models, security tools, data sources, and human decision points into cohesive, repeatable, and scalable processes.
-
Develop and operationalize automation playbooks and runbooks leveraging AI capabilities within SOAR platforms, scripting frameworks, and custom tooling to accelerate detection and response.
-
Integrate AI-driven workflow capabilities with existing security platforms — including SIEM, SOAR, EDR, threat intelligence platforms, and security data lakes — to enable seamless end-to-end operations.
-
Collaborate with cyber defense stakeholders to translate operational requirements into well-defined workflow specifications, ensuring AI solutions address real-world security challenges effectively.
-
Automate compliance checks, governance controls, and operational reporting to continuously improve the security posture and maturity of AI workflow platforms.
