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.

- 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
- 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)

- 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
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
