- Collect, analyze, and document information to author threat reports to drive scalable mitigation and remediation actions.
- Provide situational awareness on the current threat landscape and the TTPs associated with specific threats to our business, including ongoing malware campaigns.
- Collect data from intelligence communities, threat intelligence platforms, open source data repositories, and other sources to analyze TTPs and anomalies.
