SOC L3 Professional

Identify Needs - The SOC Lead analyzes the organizations security posture, ndustry threats, and compliance requirements.

Develop Scenarios: Outline use cases that describe potential security incidents. These scenarios should detail the type of event (e.g., phishing attempt, malware infection), the expected logs or alerts generated, and the desired esponse from the SOC team.

Document Actions: The use cases should clearly define the actions the SOC analysts should take upon encountering such an event. This might involve escalating the incident, initiating containment procedures, or collecting further nformation for investigation.

Translate Use Cases to rules: Work with the Security Engineer or Analyst to translate the use cases into actionable SIEM rules.

Define Triggers: These rules specify the conditions that will trigger an alert in the SIEM system. This could involve specific log entries, patterns within the data, or exceeding predefined thresholds.

Fine-Tuning: The Lead plays a key role in testing and refining the SIEM rules to minimize false positives (alerts triggered by harmless events) and ensure they effectively detect actual threats as outlined in the use cases.

Maintenance: The threat landscape constantly evolves, so the Lead is responsible for reviewing and updating the use cases and SIEM rules to adapt to new threats and security vulnerabilities.

System Administration: A strong foundation in Windows, Linux/Unix system administration needed to manage and troubleshoot security tools running on these platforms.
