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 that occur within the security stack, pinpoint vulnerabilities, escalating incidents, and advise or deploying mitigation tactics. 

Responsibilities:

•    Provide security monitoring and incident response of cyber security events.
•    Monitor and analyze logs and alerts to identify actionable security incidents.
•    Provide proactive “threat hunting” to detect incidents.
•    Provide Incident Response support when analysis confirms actionable incident.
•    Respond to SOC cyber security tickets that are sent or replied to by partners.
•    Investigate, document, and report on SOC tickets to ensure timeliness, uniformity, and compliance with documented processes and procedures.
•    Escalate issues or tickets as deemed necessary by following documented procedures or verbally relayed communication. 
•    Stay up to date on the latest emerging threats and tactics.
