Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Multi-source alert investigations — correlate across SIEM, EDR, identity, and network with reduced oversight.
  • Routine incident response — execute tier-2 containment and eradication on familiar threat types.
  • Vulnerability prioritization — assess CVSS, exploitability, and asset context to drive patching decisions.
  • Threat-intel ingestion and operationalization — turn IOCs and TTPs into detection rules.
  • Cloud-security configuration (AWS, Azure, GCP IAM and network controls) — review and remediate in routine cases.
  • Detection engineering (basic SIEM queries, custom rules) — write and tune for the SOC's standard threats.
  • Junior analysts on alert triage — coach during their first 90 days.
  • On-call shifts in the SOC rotation — handle independently with senior backstop.
  • Compliance audit evidence collection — produce for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 cycles without manager involvement.
  • Tabletop exercises — participate substantively in SOC and broader-IR drills.
