Working environment

The vacant role contains multiple aspects of work in a Security Operations Centre. The primary focus for this role is on Security Monitoring and Vulnerability Management.  

For Security Monitoring it’s about triaging security alerts and resolving incidents.

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 your self or connect with a team member to resolve it together.  

Within Vulnerability Management you analyse and escalate vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are then picked-up by different teams within the organization for them to resolve. When time permits you spend your time on improving the teams’ capabilities, such as improving our tools, processes or other SOC related activities.
