Security Operations Center Analyst L1
We are seeking a Security Operations Center Analyst L1 to join a dedicated cyber security team responsible for monitoring, identifying, and responding to potential security incidents. In this entry-level role, you will monitor security alerts and events across systems, networks, endpoints, and cloud environments using security information and event management (SIEM) and other monitoring tools. You will perform initial triage, investigate suspicious activity, assess the potential impact and severity of alerts, and escalate confirmed or complex incidents in line with established procedures.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing logs and security notifications, validating indicators of compromise, documenting investigations, and maintaining accurate incident records. You will support the containment and resolution of security events by following playbooks and operating procedures, while working closely with experienced analysts and relevant technical teams. The role will also involve tracking incidents through to closure, contributing to shift handovers, identifying recurring alert patterns, and helping improve monitoring rules, response processes, and security documentation. As this is a 24/7 operational environment, you may be required to work rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.
Applicants should have a foundational understanding of information security principles, common cyber threats, networking concepts, operating systems, and incident response practices. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, vulnerability management, or ticketing systems is desirable. Relevant qualifications in cyber security, information technology, or a related discipline are advantageous, as are industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Network+, or equivalent. You should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, clear written and verbal communication, and the ability to follow procedures accurately under pressure. A willingness to learn, work collaboratively, maintain confidentiality, and develop technical expertise is essential.
