  • 1-2 years of security experience, with at least 1 year in a commercial SOC environment.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (preferably Microsoft Sentinel or other enterprise solutions).
  • Basic knowledge of cyber threat detection, security monitoring, and incident response methodologies.
  • Understanding of common attack techniques and frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).
  • Familiarity with security tools such as EDR, IDS/IPS, firewalls, and log analysis platforms.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess and escalate threats effectively.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with shifts/on-call duties as required.
Desirable:
  • Experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Azure Security Center, or other Microsoft security tools.
  • Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Microsoft SC-200, or GIAC (GCIH, GCIA, or GCFA).
