Job Description

• Build scripts, tools, or methodologies to enhance Mandiant’s incident investigation processes
• Develop comprehensive and accurate reports and presentations for both technical and executive audiences
• Effectively communicate investigative findings and strategy to client stakeholders including technical staff, executive leadership, and legal counsel
• Work with security and IT operations at clients to implement remediation plans in response to incidents
