Director, Incident Handling
Why Red Canary
Red Canary was founded to make security for every business better by protecting organizations around the world from cyber threats. Our combination of market defining technology, processes, and expertise delivered using an innovative SaaS model is preventing breaches every day.
The Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) continues to push the boundaries of threat detection and response with a unique combination of operations, threat research, and engineering in tight integration with the development team that designs our analysis platform and the Red Canary Threat Detection Engine.
Why You Matter
People can only act based on what they know. If our customers only understand part of their security posture, they can’t make the best decisions. Our incident handling team provides a unique mix of customer service, strategic security consulting, and security incident response support. The team you lead helps our customers understand the data, information, and intelligence available to them for the purpose of making informed decisions about their environment and security roadmap. The team also partners with the customer to help them prepare for and respond to incidents, taking ownership of their success and providing the resources they need to remediate and recover.
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated success building and directing high performing, customer focused security teams. A strategic understanding of security architecture, customer service delivery, and incident management best practices is required.
