Security

Security Engineering focuses on the hands-on design, implementation, and operation of technical security controls — SIEM-based threat detection, incident response, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, cloud and network security architecture (IAM, ZTNA, segmentation, encryption), EDR operation, and detection-as-code automation. Distinct from governance/compliance focuses (which own policy, audit, and standards programs) and from security analyst/SOC roles (alert triage only), this focus owns the engineering of detection logic, security architectures, and forensic investigation across infrastructure and cloud.

P1Cybersecurity / Information Security — P1

Defensive and detection-focused information security operations: monitoring SIEM/EDR telemetry, triaging and investigating alerts, engineering threat-led detection logic, leading incident response and threat hunting, building SOAR automation, managing vulnerabilities, and—at senior levels—shaping security architecture and governance. Distinct from offensive-only (penetration testing/red team), pure compliance/GRC audit, and physical/corporate security focuses; pen testing and AppSec appear here only as adjacent skills supporting detection and defense.

P2Incident Response — P2

Detects, triages, investigates, contains, and recovers from cybersecurity incidents across endpoint, identity, cloud, network, and application signals, owning the live incident lifecycle from first-pass triage through forensics, eradication, post-incident review, and incident command. Distinct from threat-intelligence (adversary tracking and IOC enrichment), detection-engineering (builds and tunes detection content), and security-operations administration (manages tooling uptime and platform configuration): this focus owns the response itself. As responders mature they author runbooks and provide technical input to the monitoring platform's evolution from the responder's perspective, but they do not own detection-content development or platform administration.
