Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst
As a member of the 24x7 front-line security operations team, you will defend mission environments against sophisticated and persistent cyber threats from nation-state actors. You will be responsible for investigating and triaging security alerts from endpoints, IDS/IPS, NetFlow, and custom sensors to neutralize threats within mission spaces. Your daily work involves performing deep-dive analysis of highly-classified log files, correlating evidence across disparate datasets, and producing technical reports on adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures. You will also integrate threat intelligence feeds and indicators of compromise into SIEM platforms and security sensors. To succeed, you must possess a strong understanding of networking principles, packet analysis, and defense-in-depth architecture. Required skills include proficiency in SIEM/SOAR platforms, knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and basic scripting in Python or PowerShell to automate analytical tasks.
