Summary
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.
