Exposure to SOC operations, with the ability to perform or help establish a SOC function.
Working knowledge of governance, risk, and compliance practices sufficient to understand a broader security program, including familiarity with frameworks such as NIST, ISO, and PCI.
CISSP certification preferred.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Monitor network traffic, systems, and logs for security threats, and respond to and investigate incidents.
