The Computer Emergency Response Team needs you
No organization is immune from a cyber incident. The damage that an IT Security incident can cause can be enormous. Not only the financial damage but certainly the reputational damage is sometimes considerable. It is not always possible to prevent an incident, but it is possible to limit the damage as much as possible and to investigate the cause of the incident properly. In doing so, acting quickly and accurately is of great importance. NFIR’s CERT is on standby 24/7 for its clients to address any IT Security incident. The Project Lead role is indispensable to manage these projects. Is this challenge for you? Then read on quickly.
Job Description
It’s eleven o’clock at night and your phone rings. A call is placed on NFIR’s Incident Response emergency number and you are on picket duty. After a brief telephone triage, you assess that you need to contact the other CERT members on picket duty because the client needs NFIR’s help immediately. After assembling the CERT team, you will leave for the client to supervise the intake and take care of the assignment confirmation and other formalities. The CERT team consists of digital forensics, ethical hackers and technical support colleagues who all have experience in Incident Response. So as a Project Lead Incident Response, you will be responsible for keeping a multidisciplinary team performing optimally under pressure. As a leader, you will apply your subject matter, project management and communication skills. You have to keep the overview and communicate information from the CERT to the client in clear language. You are able to prioritize, weigh interests and do not hesitate to engage in a difficult conversation with the client. A Project Lead Incident Response knows how to quickly oversee a crisis situation and is decisive. During this process, you will ensure that the goal of the Incident Response team is achieved as quickly as possible: to minimize the impact of the cyber incident as quickly as possible so that the continuity of the organization is no longer at risk. After triage, containment and securing, you will continue the digital forensics investigation and provide periodic updates to the client and monitor the progress of the project. NFIR helps organizations in both the public and private sectors. Is this challenge for you? If so, read the job requirements below and in which organization you will end up!
