What the job involves

- You will be responsible for the full spectrum of client safety: managing EDR solutions and conducting vulnerability assessments to harden assets, while simultaneously overseeing identity monitoring platforms to detect credit, SSN, and PII anomalies
- You will act as the first line of defense in detecting fraud and the primary advocate in restoring a client’s identity should a breach occur
- You will also help to manage security incidents, collaborating with other teams to conduct post-incident remediation activities
- Lastly, you will also be the architect of our efficiency—leveraging Automation, SOAR, and AI to streamline our workflows, reduce reaction times, and ensure our services can scale without compromising quality
- If you possess exceptional client engagement skills, a deep understanding of security threats and attacks, and extensive experience in technical security roles, we strongly encourage you to submit your application
- Deploy and configure Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents across client environments. Customize detection policies to minimize false positives and ensure seamless client business operations

- Generate monthly executive summaries for clients detailing blocked attacks, health status, and ROI on their security investment
- Schedule and run next-gen vulnerability scans on client networks and execute penetration tests as applicable against client assets.. Review the results with the client's (or their IT point-of-contact), prioritize critical patches, and verify their remediation
- Monitor for threats and vulnerabilities specific to “Smart Home” and Internet of Things (IoT), alert impacted clients, and assist clients in the hardening of their home networks and IoT devices
- Proactively monitor the Dark Web and criminal forums for our clients' compromised credentials, leaked intellectual property, or domain spoofing
- Work with cross-functional teams to alert clients immediately upon discovery of leaked data and provide specific instructions on changing passwords or locking down accounts
- Manage the credit monitoring platform, and alert clients to changes in credit scores, new credit inquiries/accounts and other identity alerts that could indicate fraudulent activity
- In conjunction with Client Success Managers, serve as the dedicated case manager for confirmed identity theft incidents. Handle the end-to-end resolution process so the client does not have to navigate the bureaucracy alone
- Assist in the restoration of compromised accounts, including synthetic identity fraud, medical identity theft, and tax refund fraud
- Actively hunt for client PII on people-search sites and data broker databases. Manage the "opt-out" and removal process to minimize their public attack surface
- Identify repetitive manual tasks (e.g., alert triage, monthly reporting, initial containment) and build SOAR playbooks or scripts (Python/PowerShell) to automate them
- Evaluate and implement AI-driven tools to enhance threat detection accuracy. Utilize Machine Learning features within our stack to reduce "alert fatigue" and false positives
- Continuously assess our toolset's architecture. optimize API integrations between our Identity platforms, EDR, and ticketing systems to ensure we can handle increased client volume without linear headcount growth
- Conduct "Post-Mortem" reviews after incidents or complex identity cases to identify process gaps, updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) to be faster and smarter next time
- Recognize and codify attacker tools, tactics, and procedures in indicators of compromise (IOCs) that can be applied to current and future investigations
- Develop custom scripts, tools, or methodologies to enhance our Incident Response processes
- Develop comprehensive and accurate reports of forensic findings and Incident Response activities for both technical and executive audiences
- Be part of an on-call rotation and escalation team
- Participate in knowledge transfer sessions, product training and other strategic initiatives as needed
- Maintain working knowledge of BlackCloak’s solutions, platform features and best practices

- Perform research and development on the latest cyber security attack and defense trends

Our take
As international cybersecurity efforts have strengthened corporate and state environments, cybercriminals are focusing more on individuals. High-net-worth and high-profile individuals are softer targets. And, whilst cybersecurity and defence companies focus on protecting larger networks, these people do not have a platform to fortify their digital assets.
BlackCloak provides this missing safety with digital executive protection for family offices and individuals, delivering a triple-pronged suite of digital guidance, concierge and automation tools. Its data hardening and financial safeguarding are complemented by location tracking and cyberstalking protection, reaching out of the digital space and into physical protection too.
The company differentiates itself in the crowded cybersecurity market by this focus on the individual over the company. And, with 28% of ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices and family businesses experiencing cyberattacks, it has a lot of potential. Investors think so too, investing funds that will be directed into further enhancing its platform.
