  • Contribute to SOC documentation efforts, including incident summaries and updates to response procedures.
  • Assist in reviewing Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisories to assess potential impact.
  • Collaborate with SOC team members to support process improvements and operational efficiency.
  • Stay current with emerging threats and cybersecurity best practices.

  • Familiarity with SIEM or EDR tools through coursework, labs, or personal projects.
  • Ability to analyze basic log data and follow documented processes.
  • Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Coursework or lab experience in phishing analysis or incident response.
  • Exposure to threat intelligence tools such as VirusTotal or Mandiant resources.
