Security Operations Analyst
Job Description
The Security Operations Analyst serves as the technical hub of our security operations, bridging cybersecurity and physical security technology. As a first-line responder, the role monitors and acts on alerts from cybersecurity tools (EDR, SIEM) and external threat-intelligence sources, escalating when needed. The role also owns the technical health of our physical security systems — maintaining and tuning camera and access-control technology so it reliably alerts our on-site security partners to potential incidents.
The position begins with an emphasis on physical security technology (roughly 80%) and shifts over time toward cybersecurity operations (roughly 70%).
- Alert Monitoring & First-Line Response:
- Serve as first-line response for cybersecurity alerts (EDR, SIEM) and external threat-intelligence notifications, triaging and acting on them per established response workflows and escalating when appropriate.
- Physical Security Systems— Maintenance & Optimization:
- Maintain, configure, and tune the organization’s physical security systems — including video surveillance and access-control features — so they reliably generate accurate, actionable alerts for the on-site security team.
- Work with the system vendor on implementation and ongoing improvements.
- Become Security System Subject-Matter Expert:
- Act as the internal technical point of contact for physical access system questions, troubleshooting, and configuration, coordinating with vendors and the on-site security partner to ensure alerts are accurate and useful to their response efforts.
- Threat Intelligence Triage:
- Review and act on notifications from the threat-intelligence vendor (e.g., external activity and social media anomalies) as first line, following defined runbooks and escalating significant findings.
- Documentation & Coordination:
- Document incidents, configurations, and procedures to build out the security knowledge base.
- Cookordination with IT, vendors, and the on-site physical security team to keep workflows and alerting effective.
- Continued Education & Professional Development:
- Stay current on evolving security threats, tools, and best practices through ongoing training, certifications, and self-directed learning, growing into expanded cybersecurity responsibilities.
Qualifications
- A high school Diploma or GED required; a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field preferred.
- Relevant coursework, technical training, certifications, or equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in lieu of a completed degree.
- CompTIA Security+ certification desired.
- CompTIA CySA+ or similar SOC/security analyst credential preferred.
- One to four years of experience in cybersecurity, IT, or a related technical field required.
- A foundational understanding of cybersecurity concepts (alerts, incidents, common attack types, EDR/SIEM tooling) desired.
- Hands-on exposure to any SOC tooling, basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, switching, VLANs), or familiarity with video surveillance/access-control systems desired.
- A working knowledge of EDR / SIEM tooling required.
- A general awareness of Network Security required.
- A general awareness of physical security / video surveillance systems.
