THE ROLE INVOLVES: The vacant role contains multiple aspects of work in a Security Operations Centre. The primary focus for this role is on Security Monitoring, improving our partner's current capability both on technology and process… and the occasional vulnerability review.

If it becomes a security incident, it's expected you can resolve it from start to finish, while taking more junior team members along the way. For the analysis you will have access to several sources such as EDR, Firewalls, endpoints, and application logging. If an alert escalates to a security incident, you either resolve it yourself or connect with a team member to resolve it together.
