  • Gather, maintain, and analyse data to identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and performance metrics related to SOC operations.
  • Monitor and analyse system activity using security operations tools and analyse network alerts to determine possible root causes.
  • Provide timely detection, identification, and alerting of attacks, intrusions, and misuse activities.
  • Coordinate with stakeholders to validate network alerts and security events.
