• Monitor security alerts and logs to detect, investigate, and respond to potential security incidents in a timely manner.
• Develop and maintain incident response plans, playbooks, and disaster recovery procedures.
• Perform root cause analysis for security incidents and recommend corrective/preventive actions.
• Implement and manage identity and access management (IAM) controls, including least-privilege and role-based access.
• Collaborate with IT and DevOps teams to embed security best practices into system architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments.
• Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies, and recommend improvements accordingly.
• Ensure compliance with relevant security standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST, PDPA).
• Conduct security awareness training and support internal teams with security best practices.
• Maintain documentation for security policies, procedures, and configurations.
• Participate in on-call rotation for critical security incident response, as needed.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, IT, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Solid understanding of network security concepts (firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, network segmentation).
• Experience with SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel) and log analysis.
• Familiarity with vulnerability scanning and penetration testing tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, Burp Suite, Metasploit).
• Experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Knowledge of scripting/automation languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for security tooling.
• Understanding of security frameworks and standards (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, MITRE ATT&CK).
• Experience with endpoint detection and response (EDR) and antivirus/anti-malware solutions.
• Familiarity with identity and access management (IAM), Active Directory, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Relevant certifications such as CEH, CompTIA Security+, CISSP, OSCP, or GIAC certifications are an advantage.
• Experience with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to regulatory compliance requirements in Malaysia (e.g., PDPA) or the region.
• Prior experience in incident response or digital forensics.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
