Incident Handler
Why You Matter
The Incident Handling Team is the security operations face of Red Canary. We are the customer’s unique ally in helping secure their organization. As the customer-facing role and voice of Red Canary’s day-to-day interaction with our customer, we play a myriad of roles, depending on our customer. We are primary incident managers, independent strategic consultants that help move security programs forward, threat hunters, and malware researchers.
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. You will help the customer understand the full scope of information available to them and make informed decisions about their environment. You will partner with the customer as an extension of their security team to help them to understand and mature their overall security program. If a customer experiences an incident, you will work to help by taking ownership of the customer's success and providing any resources they need to remediate and recover.
Why Red Canary
Red Canary is a security operations partner for modern businesses, deployed in minutes. We empower security teams to quickly identify and shut down attacks that have bypassed traditional security technology—all at a fraction of the cost of building out their internal teams and architecture.
