SOC Analyst L2

SOC Analyst L2

As a SOC Analyst L2, you will lead deeper investigations of escalated cases, confirm incidents, determine scope and impact, drive containment actions with internal teams, and produce high-quality technical communications and post-incident outputs. You will also contribute to detection improvement (tuning, new detections, playbook updates).

Responsibilities:

• Take escalations from L1 and perform in-depth investigations: hypothesis-driven analysis, evidence validation, scoping, impact assessment, and timeline building.
• Correlate telemetry across endpoint (EDR), Windows/Linux, AD, firewall/proxy/DNS/IDS, and (when applicable) cloud logs.
• Recommend and/or coordinate containment actions (host isolation, credential resets, IOC blocks, temporary control changes) following change control and governance.
• Determine severity and communicate clearly in English to technical stakeholders; provide concise executive-style updates when required.
• Identify detection gaps and drive improvements: reduce false positives, close false negatives, propose new rules/use cases.
• Ensure evidence integrity and proper documentation, coordinate handoffs with IR, IT Ops, Network, and Cloud teams.
• Produce post-incident deliverables: probable root cause, lessons learned, and preventive actions.
