SOC is the Central Nervous System of the Security System-ICSS What Is a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst? A SOC analyst is a cybersecurity professional who works as part of a team to monitor and fight threats to an organization’s IT infrastructure, and to assess security systems and measures for weaknesses and possible improvements. The SOC in the job title
stands for security operations center; this is the name for the team, which consists of multiple analysts and other security pros, and often works together in a single physical location. A SOC may be an internal team serving a single enterprise or an outsourced service providing security for one or more external clients. SOC analyst skills The EC-Council describes the top-level skills a SOC analyst needs as follows: •Network defense •Ethical hacking •Incident response •Computer forensics •Reverse engineering But what are the specific technical skills required? The EC- Council’s breakdown of different analyst tiers we referenced above has some details: SOC analysts need to have an understanding of common security tools like intrusion detection systems and SIEM software. They’ll need to have sysadmin skills on Windows, Macs, and Linux/Unix platforms. Upper-tier analysts will also need to know how to use penetration testing tools.
Much of the job of a SOC analyst revolves around digging into system logs to try to trace attacks and determine when and how systems were compromised. Since manually scrolling through logs is slow and will quickly drive an analyst mad, SOC analysts need skills to automate these kinds of tasks and extract useful data from logs. Tier 1 analysts will need to know how to write scripts that can find key patterns in large text files like system logs, whereas upper-level analysts will need to understand how data visualization tools can provide insights. Some programming knowledge is therefore a must. SOC Service providers in India helps you to prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to any threat or incident.
