The Opportunity:
As a security operations center (SOC) analyst, you’re in the middle of the action, responding to and mitigating threats in real time. You’re the first line of cyber defense for your organization, and they look to you for guidance on best practices and security measures. We need a Tier 2 SOC analyst like you to help us secure critical infrastructure from the constant onslaught of cyber-attacks for the mission partner.
As a SOC analyst on our team, you’ll improve monitoring strategies and analyze threats. You’ll work with the team to understand, mitigate, and respond to threats quickly, restoring operations and limiting the impact. You’ll guide efforts to figure out just how many systems are affected and assist recovery efforts. You’ll combine threat intelligence, event data, and assessments from recent events, and identify patterns to understand attackers’ goals to stop them from succeeding. This is a great opportunity to hone your cybersecurity skills with hands-on experience in threat assessment and incident response.
