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
