A day in the life
A day in the life involves meeting Vulnerability Management and Incident Responder teams to review data flows, prediction use cases, and automation gaps. From here you will research data sets and collaborate with security/software engineers to retrieve data needed for your analysis and explorations. Once you have framed the problems, you will conduct experiments, regressions, and various analysis activities to find insights. You will develop and train models that will then be placed into a production environment with the help of software engineers.
