📋 Description

• The SOC Analyst is responsible for maintaining the organization’s cybersecurity posture through continuous monitoring, detection, and incident response. • Using advanced technologies such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Network Detection and Response (NDR), File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), and Next-Gen Antivirus (NGAV), the analyst identifies and mitigates security threats in real time. • This role also contributes to the design and development of automated playbooks using Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms to streamline response workflows and improve SOC efficiency. • The analyst collaborates across teams to strengthen detection logic, enhance processes, and ensure proactive defense against evolving cyber threats. • Threat Monitoring & Detection • Monitor and analyze security alerts from SIEM, EDR, NDR, FIM, and Antivirus platforms to detect potential threats. • Perform correlation and pattern analysis across multiple data sources to identify anomalies and sophisticated attack behaviors. • Continuously tune and optimize detection rules to reduce false positives and improve fidelity. • Incident Response & Management • Execute incident response lifecycle activities including triage, containment, eradication, and recovery following NIST standards. • Document incidents thoroughly, providing root cause analysis, attack vectors, and corrective actions. • Support post-incident reviews to identify control gaps and recommend security improvements. • Playbook Development & Automation • Develop, maintain, and enhance incident response playbooks and runbooks to ensure standardized handling of recurring alerts and use cases. • Collaborate with senior analysts to build SOAR playbooks for automated enrichment, containment, and notification workflows. • Align playbooks with MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks to ensure comprehensive coverage of adversarial tactics. • Vulnerability & Risk Management • Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and coordinate with IT teams for timely remediation. • Evaluate system configurations and network architecture for potential risks and ensure secure baselines. • Track and report on vulnerability remediation metrics. • Security Tooling & Integration • Manage and optimize EDR, SIEM, SOAR, FIM, NDR, and Antivirus tools to ensure operational readiness. • Integrate data sources and automate workflows between platforms for improved incident visibility and response time. • Provide input on the design and deployment of new security solutions. • File Integrity & Endpoint Protection • Monitor File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) systems to detect unauthorized modifications in critical files and directories. • Analyze and respond to Antivirus/NGAV alerts to prevent and contain endpoint infections. • Validate cleanup and verify systems post-remediation. • Network Detection & Threat Intelligence • Leverage NDR tools to identify lateral movement, command-and-control (C2) traffic, and exfiltration attempts. • Incorporate Threat Intelligence Feeds (STIX/TAXII) for enhanced situational awareness and detection context. • Conduct proactive threat hunting based on known TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures). • Reporting & Compliance • Generate detailed reports and dashboards highlighting incident metrics, trends, and SOC performance (MTTD, MTTR, volume by category). • Ensure compliance with standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and NIST CSF. • Support audits and assist in evidence gathering for compliance activities.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience: 4+ years in SOC operations, cybersecurity, or incident response. • Strong knowledge of EDR, SIEM, SOAR, NDR, FIM, and Antivirus/NGAV platforms. • Experience in writing playbooks, automating responses, and tuning detection logic. • Familiarity with incident handling frameworks, threat hunting, and digital forensics. • Framework Knowledge: MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, NIST IR, ISO 27001. • Certifications (Preferred): CompTIA Security+, CySA+, CEH, Microsoft SC-200, or equivalent. • Desired Candidate Profile • Experience creating and maintaining incident response playbooks and runbooks. • Ability to perform threat hunting and deep-dive investigation using EDR, NDR, and SIEM telemetry. • Knowledge of security automation, cloud-native security, and network forensics. • Strong communication and documentation skills for both technical and executive audiences. • Works effectively in high-pressure, time-sensitive environments while maintaining precision and accuracy.
