    • Performing precise real-time analysis and correlation of logs/alerts from a multitude of log sources/devices with a focus on determining whether the events constitute security incidents.
    • Creating procedures, run books, and other high-level and low-level documentation for configuring, deploying, and managing SIEM and its components within the Bank.

    • Appropriately and practically defending the information enterprise in accordance with established policies, procedures, guidelines and practices.
    • Staying abreast of the latest trends in hacking techniques and malicious software, especially those targeting the financial services industry, and adjusting the Bank’s security monitoring approach accordingly to thwart the same.
