Reporting to the SOC Team Leader, the Junior SOC Analyst will play a pivotal role in safeguarding an organisation's information systems and assets. The analyst investigates and classifies security incidents, collaborating with senior SOC members and incident response teams to escalate and address potential threats. The role extends to maintaining detailed incident records, participating in continuous learning to stay abreast of evolving threats, and ensuring compliance with security policies.
