SOC Level 2 Security Analyst
We are seeking a SOC Level 2 Security Analyst to investigate, validate, and respond to complex cybersecurity alerts within a Security Operations Centre. The successful candidate will analyse events from SIEM, EDR, network monitoring, identity, cloud, and vulnerability management platforms, distinguishing genuine threats from false positives and escalating incidents appropriately. You will conduct detailed investigations into suspected malware, phishing, unauthorised access, data exfiltration, privilege misuse, and other indicators of compromise, ensuring that all findings are accurately documented and communicated.
Key responsibilities include performing advanced triage, correlating events across multiple data sources, developing incident timelines, and carrying out host, network, email, and user analysis. You will support containment, eradication, and recovery activities in collaboration with infrastructure, application, identity, and IT service teams. The role will also involve creating and refining detection rules, use cases, playbooks, and threat-hunting queries; monitoring emerging threats and vulnerabilities; and contributing to post-incident reviews and recommendations. You will maintain clear case records, produce operational reports, and help improve SOC procedures, response times, and overall security maturity. Participation in an on-call or shift-based rota may be required.
Applicants should have proven experience in a SOC, incident response, threat detection, or a similar cybersecurity environment, with a strong understanding of security monitoring and investigation techniques. Practical knowledge of SIEM and EDR technologies, Windows and Linux operating systems, TCP/IP networking, authentication protocols, email security, cloud environments, and common attack methods is required. Experience with scripting or automation, particularly using PowerShell or Python, is desirable. Relevant industry certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent experience are advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical, and confident working under pressure, with strong written and verbal communication skills and a commitment to continuous learning.
