Department OverviewThis significant growth is driven by projected increases in operational workload due to new client acquisitions, expanded monitored assets, and a rising volume of cyber threats. Without this expansion, the team faces severe risks including decreased service quality, increased analyst burnout, a compromised security posture, and potential non-compliance with SLAs. Therefore, a proportional increase in personnel is imperative to maintain effective security operations, ensure prompt incident resolution, and support the organization's strategic growth while safeguarding our assets.
