Conduct forensic readiness assessments and contribute to the development of incident response plans to ensure the enterprise can effectively respond to data breaches.
Mentor junior analysts and stay current with the latest fraud tactics, cyber threats, and security technologies.

Requirements

8 10 years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on payment fraud detection, resolution, and digital forensics.

Familiarity with ISO, CIS, NIST, CSF, and SCF frameworks and security controls.
