SOC Analyst

Responsibilities - Review the closure review for a case closed without evidence and correct it before anyone else relies on it. - Keep a single current rule feedback, and archive the older copy once you have dealt with a noisy detection. - Ask the detection engineer to challenge the severity check, especially around a low score on a serious case. - Write the assumption behind the playbook gap in two or three plain sentences, and mention a step the playbook does not cover. - Compare this shift's sample audit with the previous one and explain a week of weak closures. - Stop and rework the correction note if you find a case that should be reopened. Requirements - Roughly 1 to 3 years of closing security cases to a standard that matches this soc analyst profile, or a shorter record with the same kind of finished work. - Practical skill with case tickets and log searches in soc analyst work, not a certificate alone. - Able to explain the difference between a false positive and an unknown to a colleague who was not in the room. - Careful with closing an alert to clear the queue; this is checked in review of soc analyst work. - For the soc analyst brief in London, use the working language of that assignment in United Kingdom.
