• Partner with detection, investigation, and engineering teams to ensure alignment between detection logic and real-world operational risk

• Evaluate effectiveness of existing controls and monitoring capabilities; recommend enhancements to improve detection coverage and reduce gaps

• Contribute to ongoing refinement of detection methodologies by incorporating investigative feedback, emerging risks, and evolving business processes
