• Proactive Remote Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You must excel at drafting clear technical incident logs.

• Preferred: Basic foundational certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Network+, Cisco CyberOps Associate, or AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
• Preferred: Practical exposure to SIEM or log aggregation tools (such as Splunk, Elastic Security, or Microsoft Sentinel) during coursework or internships.
