IT Security Analyst (SOC) - GC1721 -09

Overview:

• The client is looking for an IT security analyst for its SOC, positioned at level 2: alerts reach this person already escalated by level 1, and the person in turn acts as the technical escalation point for those analysts.
  
  


• The work centres on investigation: qualifying phishing, account compromise, malware or lateral movement cases, correlating events across several platforms, then enriching them with logs, indicators of compromise and threat intelligence.
  
  


• The person determines verdict, severity and impact, then recommends or initiates first measures according to established processes, with incident response remaining initial and carried out with other teams.
  
  


• The form title specifies no level, while the full set of responsibilities describes a level 2 role.
  
  


• The Talents and qualifications section is empty: no degree, certification, language or named tool is required, so assessment rests entirely on the activity profile.
  
  


• Target candidate: a QA professional with at least 10 years in IT, including 5 years in testing, who has coordinated testing within agile teams and uses JIRA, XRAY, Cypress and Playwright in recent mandates.
  
  


• Group insurance exposure or an integration project will set apart otherwise equal candidates.
  
  

Requirements

• Analysis and qualification of escalated alerts (phishing, account compromise, malware, lateral movement)

• Determination of verdict, severity, potential impact and required actions
  
  


• Initial mitigation, containment or escalation measures, recommended or initiated per processes

• Use of approved AI and automation tools (triage, enrichment, documentation)
