Purpose

Responsible for overseeing and executing comprehensive digital forensics investigations and managing the entire lifecycle of an incident on behalf of Ctrl and their clients. This role requires a deep understanding of cybersecurity threats, forensic methodologies, and incident handling procedures. The ideal candidate will lead a team of DFIR professionals, provide strategic guidance, and enforce forensically sound incident response.

Key Responsibilities

Incident Response Leadership:

  • Lead and coordinate the deployment of Ctrl’s incident response team to client environments.
  • Ensure timely containment, eradication and recovery of compromised client environments.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact during an engagement.

Digital Forensics:

  • Conduct and oversee detailed digital forensic investigations, including evidence collection, preservation, analysis, and reporting.
  • Utilise advanced forensic tools and techniques to uncover digital evidence and reconstruct events related to security incidents.
  • Ensure that forensic processes comply with legal, regulatory, and organisational standards.
Qualifications
  • Prior experience in a similar role, leading DFIR teams in high pressure environments.
  • You may hold key security related certifications such as CFCE, CAWFE, GEIR, or applicable vendor certifications with major cloud service providers or incident response product vendors, but these are not essential.

Apply if you have a passion for all things cybersecurity, especially Digital Forensics and Incident Response as well as proven expertise in this field.
