The Role

Skills & Experience
Candidates should bring proven hands-on experience leading complex DFIR investigations, with strong knowledge of forensic evidence collection, malware analysis, attack techniques and cloud environments. Experience deploying incident response tooling, producing client-ready reports, and mentoring junior investigators is expected. Relevant industry certifications would strengthen an application.
