Junior SOC Analyst

A SOC analyst’s main objective is to identify, investigate, and escalate alerts and events to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access or harm caused by cybercriminals or malicious insiders. SOC Analysts monitor an organization’s infrastructure to identify potential threats, review events within the security stack, pinpoint vulnerabilities, and escalating incidents, and advise or deploy mitigation tactics. Responsibilities include providing security monitoring and incident response of cyber security events, monitoring and analyzing logs and alerts to identify actionable security incidents, and providing proactive “threat hunting” to detect incidents. Additional duties involve offering Incident Response support when analysis confirms actionable incident, responding to SOC cyber security tickets sent or replied to by partners, and escalating issues or tickets as necessary by following documented procedures.
