  • Manages and contributes to projects that enhance the maturity and capabilities of the SOC, aligning with organizational security objectives.
  • Monitors intelligence sources in order to maintain situational awareness of the ways to detect emerging cyber threats.
  • Develops, maintains, and continually improves documentation related to security event logging, monitoring processes, and detection strategies.
  • Communicates regularly with key stakeholders to ensure that security event monitoring requirements are understood, met, and continuously refined.
  • Develops automated pipelines for detection, triage and response within the team's SOAR.

  • Ensure that you adhere to the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) obligations for your role. 
  • Identify and raise any non-compliance incidents promptly to your line manager.
