Job Description
SilverSky is a cybersecurity firm with more than two decades in the field and over 300 employees. Its security operations center watches client environments around the clock, every day of the year, with a focus on organizations facing sophisticated, targeted attacks. This entry-level SOC Analyst L1 position is remote and open only to people living in Guam or Hawaii. US citizenship is required, and the posting states that sponsorship for work authorization is not offered.
Analysts serve as the first point of contact for client security questions. Daily work includes reviewing alerts from intrusion detection, anomaly detection, firewall, and SIEM logs to find attacks and threats. Analysts pass security events and change requests to whichever department owns them, support first-line incident response for large enterprises, and make sure intrusions and compromises reach IT, network, or security staff in time. They also help senior analysts put countermeasures and containment controls in place, and they are expected to suggest ways to make operations more effective.
The job calls for flexibility to work shifts in a service that never closes, along with clear written and spoken communication, strong customer service habits, and close attention to detail.
Responsibilities
- Examine IDS, ADS, firewall, and SIEM event records to detect attacks and threats
- Support first-line security incident response for large organizations
- Notify IT, network, and security teams promptly about intrusions and compromises
- Assist senior analysts with countermeasures and mitigating controls
- Pass security events and change requests to whichever department owns them
- Propose improvements that make operations more effective and efficient
Requirements
- Basic cybersecurity knowledge and grounding in security administration fundamentals
- Familiar with Windows Server, Linux, Active Directory, firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, TCP/IP networking, AWS, CDNs, vulnerability management, and SIEM tooling
- Understanding of how to contain, recover from, and reduce incidents
- Analytical and problem-solving ability
- Excellent customer service, communication, and detail orientation
- Readiness to work flexible hours in a 24/7/365 environment
- Living in Guam or Hawaii, holding US citizenship, and being legally permitted to take jobs in the USA
Qualifications
- Security+ (Sec+) certification to be obtained within six months of starting
- Knowledge of service level agreement expectations in a security operations center
