🚨 Lead SOC Analyst | London
I’m working with one of the world's largest Technology Services firms as they build out a new high-performance Security Operations capability supporting some of the UK’s most advanced, secure and next-generation compute infrastructure.
We’re looking for an experienced Lead SOC Analyst / L3 SOC Analyst who enjoys being hands-on with complex security incidents and wants to work at the sharp end of Incident Response, Threat Analysis and Security Operations.
This isn’t just alert monitoring.
You’ll act as an escalation point for complex and high-severity incidents, investigating attack vectors and impact, correlating activity across multiple data sources and helping drive incidents through containment, eradication and recovery.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading investigations into medium and high-severity security incidents
- Performing root cause analysis and building detailed incident narratives
- Working extensively with SIEM and EDR tooling
- Supporting containment, eradication and recovery activities
- Identifying gaps in detection coverage and existing playbooks
- Tuning detection rules and thresholds alongside Security Content Engineers
- Mentoring and providing technical guidance to L1 SOC Analysts
- Taking part in SOC exercises and simulated Incident Response scenarios
