SOC Analysts are those who work on the SOC team. It’s usually a junior or entry-level position. SOC stands for Security Operation Center, which is a centralized team within any business that monitors real-time threats, incidents, and suspicious activity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The SOC team takes immediate action or assigns the issue to the appropriate team for further action.
