A Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst is required to join the UK's leading engineering support services company. This is an excellent opportunity for a SOC Analyst to join a relatively new team that has a major contribution regarding the direction of the chosen technologies.

The essential responsibilities of the SOC Security Analyst will be identifying, notifying and responding to security threats across the large and distributed IT estate. You must also provide system security advice to system management, system staff and users. You will also proactively identify major or common attacks for the purposes of tuning security devices, and will oversee the ongoing maintenance of security tools.

The successful candidate must have previous experience as a Security Analyst, as well as knowledge of SIEM toolsets and Full Packet Capture toolsets.

You will also require excellent understanding of networking principles including;
TCP/IP, WANs, LANs and commonly used Internet protocols such as SMTP and HTTP. All candidates must be willing and eligible to undergo SC and potentially DV Security Clearance.
