Role Overview
The Cyber Security Analyst will be a hands-on contributor
supporting the setup and maturation of a 24/7 SOC. This role goes beyond
passive monitoring or report review and is focused on actively improving cyber
defense capabilities, controls, and processes.
You will monitor, manage, and investigate security alerts, while
also helping establish standard operating procedures and best practices to
reduce organizational risk.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor, analyze, and respond to security alerts from Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms
• Investigate and triage potential threats and security incidents
