• Perform initial alert triage and determine whether activity is malicious, benign, or a false positive.
• Investigate low- to medium-severity security alerts and gather relevant evidence to support response and escalation activities.
• Execute approved SOC playbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and investigation workflows.
• Create, maintain, and update investigation tickets with clear documentation, timelines, evidence, and actions taken.
• Escalate complex, high-risk, or suspicious cases to Senior Security Analysts, SOC SMEs, or the Incident Response team as required.
• Participate in shift handovers and operational reporting to maintain investigation continuity and situational awareness.
• Support vulnerability monitoring, compliance activities, and security operational tasks when required.
• Contribute to knowledge base updates, process improvements, and SOC operational maturity initiatives.
• Maintain high standards of accuracy, professionalism, and confidentiality when handling security investigations and sensitive information.
