As a Cybersecurity Incident Response Specialist, your key area of responsibility will be owning incident response operations for Geotab's government compliance environments. You will proactively monitor, triage, and lead response efforts for security incidents, conduct log analysis across web applications, and leverage tools including Elastic and CrowdStrike. During lower-incident periods, you will lead threat hunts and strategic IR project work to continuously improve our security posture. You will participate in a on-call rotation with dedicated coverage for US-specific incidents.

• Proactively monitor, evaluate, and track systems and networks for breaches to Geotab's security, products, and customers

• Identify security flaws and vulnerabilities and utilize industry standard metrics for evaluating risks (e.g. CVSS)

• Ensure that Geotab's compliance requirements are met (e.g. NIST 800-53 & NIST 800-171), with dedicated focus on FedRAMP and CONUS environments

• Perform security audits, risk analysis, network forensics, and penetration testing to reduce attack surface

• Perform malware analysis and reverse engineering to develop a procedural set of responses to security problems

• Establish plans that outlines security gap assessments, policies, procedures, playbooks, training, and tabletop testing

• Establish protocols for effectively communicating security incidents and breaches with customers, internal stakeholders, and law enforcement

• Remedy security breaches in a timely manner according to priority and provide expert SME guidance to internal teams

• Post-secondary diploma or degree specializing in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

• 3-5 years of experience in an Incident Response or Security Operations role

• Hands-on experience with Elastic, CrowdStrike, and SQL; scripting proficiency in Python, PowerShell, and Bash; familiarity with Splunk, QRadar, or other SIEM tools is a strong asset

• Experience in GCP environments (primary); AWS, Azure, or Oracle cloud familiarity is an asset

• CCSP certification desired; CISSP and SANS certifications is a plus - strong hands-on experience will be considered over certifications alone
