IT SOC Analyst
We are seeking an IT SOC Analyst to monitor, investigate and respond to security events across a dynamic technology environment. Working as part of a security operations team, you will provide first-line analysis of alerts, identify potential threats and support the timely containment and resolution of incidents. You will use security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), vulnerability management and other monitoring tools to assess suspicious activity and maintain effective security visibility.
Your responsibilities will include triaging alerts, analysing log data, investigating phishing attempts, malware detections, unauthorised access and other indicators of compromise. You will document findings clearly, escalate incidents in line with defined procedures and contribute to incident response activities, including evidence gathering, root-cause analysis and post-incident reporting. The role will also involve maintaining accurate case records, supporting threat-hunting activities, reviewing security controls and helping to improve monitoring rules, playbooks and operational processes. You may participate in an on-call or shift-based rota to support continuous security monitoring.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response, infrastructure or related IT role, together with a sound understanding of networking, operating systems, authentication, common attack techniques and cybersecurity principles. Experience with SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, ticketing systems, vulnerability scanners and cloud security tooling is desirable. Relevant certifications such as Security+, SSCP, CySA+ or equivalent training would be advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical and able to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment, with strong written and verbal communication skills. A commitment to ongoing learning, careful handling of sensitive information and the ability to work collaboratively with technical and non-technical colleagues are essential.
