SOC Engineering Lead
Role description
To undertake the day to day operation of (and incremental improvement of) a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC) to support the defence of a major UK CNI organisation. The networks protected are predominantly hosted in Azure cloud platforms, with many systems within these environments that must be protected. The customer is committed to development of this improved SOC to be a benchmark of best practice and excellence in reflection of the significant threat that the protected systems are subject to.
These roles require a minimum of SC clearance. Due to timelines for the start of operations, it will not be possible to sponsor new clearances so candidates must have existing clearances.
The SOC Engineering lead is responsible for planning and managing development, testing and implementation activities for both day to day activities : delivering new / updated rules and analytics for the Azure SIEM and SOAR platforms, and production of playbooks leading the Analytics and Rules (A and R) Teams prioritising and coordinating their activities across the various projects / releases : as well as long term improvement upgrades and activities.
The day:to:day focus of the Engineering team which you will manage day to day is working with the Protective Monitoring, Threat Intelligence and wider SOC operations Teams to scope and define the requirements for tuning existing security use cases and creating new detection content. This includes planning each release and overseeing all design, development, testing and implementation activities.
The strategic focus of the Engineering Lead is to ensure that the detection and monitoring technology remains optimised, current and tailored to the changing threat landscape, authority risk position and technology in use.
The SOC Engineering Lead is an IT and cyber technical specialist with deep knowledge of the Cyber Monitoring technologies and cyber threat tools, tactics, techniques and procedures and demonstrable experience of prior SOC Engineering roles of a similar nature, with clear understanding of how engineering impacts the people and process aspects of a SOC.
