• Post-Incident Improvement: Conduct post-incident reviews and root cause analyses to identify areas for improvement.

• Leak Monitoring Program: Support and evolve our capabilities to detect unauthorized distribution of internal builds and confidential game information.

• Mentorship: Act as an escalation point for level I and II Analysts.

What Will Make You A Great Fit
