  • Identify potential gaps, unusual activity, or recurring issues and report them to senior analysts or leadership for review.
  • Continue building knowledge of cyber security concepts, common attacker tactics, threat trends, internal tools, SOC operating procedures, and investigative techniques that support progression within the SOC analyst career path.
