Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst
We are seeking a Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst to help protect critical systems, applications and data from cyber threats. Working as part of a collaborative security team, you will monitor security events, investigate suspicious activity and support the timely resolution of incidents across a diverse technology environment. This role is suited to an analytical and methodical professional who can remain calm under pressure, communicate clearly and maintain a strong focus on risk reduction.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network security and other security tools; triaging alerts and identifying false positives; conducting initial investigation and analysis of potential incidents; escalating confirmed or complex threats in line with established procedures; and maintaining accurate records of investigations, actions and outcomes. You will contribute to incident response activities, vulnerability and threat monitoring, security reporting and the continual improvement of detection rules, playbooks and operational processes. The role may also involve supporting forensic investigations, reviewing logs, producing management information and participating in an on-call or shift-based rota.
Applicants should have experience in a SOC, security monitoring, incident response or a closely related cybersecurity environment, together with a practical understanding of common attack techniques, cyber risks and defensive controls. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint security solutions, network traffic analysis, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and threat intelligence is desirable. Knowledge of relevant frameworks and standards, such as NIST or ISO 27001, would be advantageous. Professional qualifications in cybersecurity or equivalent practical experience are welcome. You should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, sound judgement and the ability to explain technical issues to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A commitment to continuous learning and maintaining current knowledge of the evolving threat landscape is essential.
