About The Position

The Detection and Response Manager will build, lead, and continuously mature the Detection and Response Team, serving as Tier 3 support for Con Edison's IT and OT Cybersecurity Operations Center (CSOC).

Reporting to the Director of Cybersecurity Operations, the manager will establish a new team that functions as the primary escalation path for the CSOC, advances detection engineering maturity, and conducts proactive threat hunting across the enterprise.
