SOC Analyst (Level 1) – Graduate Opportunity

Kickstart Your Career in Cyber Security

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for cyber security and a curiosity about how organisations defend against real-world threats?

This is your opportunity to launch your career in a Security Operations Centre (SOC), gaining hands-on exposure, structured learning, and real-time experience in protecting enterprise environments.

We’re looking for motivated, ambitious graduates who want to build a long-term career in cyber security, not just a job.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a SOC Analyst (Level 1), you’ll be at the frontline of cyber defence, supporting the monitoring and protection of systems under the guidance of experienced analysts.

You Will

• Monitor security alerts and events using enterprise tools (SIEM platforms)
• Support the triage and escalation of potential security incidents
• Learn how real-world cyber-attacks are identified and handled
• Follow structured runbooks and incident response procedures
• Contribute to incident notes and basic reports
• Work closely with senior analysts to develop your expertise
  
  

What We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for graduates or early-career professionals with a strong academic foundation and a genuine interest in cyber security, who are eager to grow and build a long-term career in the field.

Education & Interest

• Degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
• Strong interest in cyber security, with a curiosity about how threats emerge and how organisations defend against them
  
  

Essential Knowledge (Academic or Self-Learned)

• Understanding of Security Operations Centres (SOC) and their purpose
• Awareness of alerts, incidents, and case management workflows
• Basic knowledge of the incident lifecycle (detection → triage → escalation)
• Familiarity with common cyber threats:
• Malware
• Phishing
• Brute-force attacks
• Unauthorized access
• Core Technical Foundations
• Networking basics (IP, ports, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS)
• Operating systems (Windows / Linux fundamentals)
• Awareness of:
• Endpoint security
• Network security
• Identity and access management concepts
  

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Exposure to SIEM tools, log analysis, or cyber labs (university or self-learning)
• Certifications or training in cyber security (e.g., CompTIA Security+, Cyber Essentials, etc.)
• Strong analytical thinking and curiosity about how attacks happen
• Clear written communication skills
  
  

Your Mindset

We value attitude as much as technical skills. You’ll thrive if you:

• Are eager to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment
• Can follow processes while thinking critically
• Are comfortable working in a 24/7 shift-based environment
• Communicate clearly and escalate issues appropriately
