A bit about the role
As the Cyber Security Incident Response Lead, you will be responsible for leading nbn’s response to cyber security incidents across the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include actioning alerts, managing incident triage, containment, and recovery efforts, as well as ensuring timely communication with key stakeholders.
You will also contribute to the continuous improvement of incident response capabilities through playbook development, simulation exercises, and post-incident reviews. In addition, you will build and maintain strong relationships with external vendors and managed security service providers to support incident response activities, ensuring SLA compliance and effective collaboration during critical events. You will stay current with emerging threats and adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures, and integrate threat intelligence into response strategies to strengthen nbn’s overall cyber defence posture.
A bit about you
If this sounds like the role for you, it’s likely that you have extensive experience in cyber incident response and threat analysis, along with a strong understanding of infrastructure networks and cloud platforms. You are confident in leading under pressure, making informed decisions quickly, and communicating effectively with stakeholders at all levels. You are passionate about continuous improvement and building cyber resilience, and you thrive in environments where collaboration and precision are key.
