• Act as a Subject Matter Expert: Serve as the team's technical SME for insider threat data sources, providing guidance and insights to other analysts.
• Improve Detections: Continuously develop, tune, and refine insider threat detection logic, creating new playbooks and alerting criteria to mature the program.
