Core responsibilities across SOC monitoring, VAPT execution, and evidence management include the following:

• Monitor SOC queues and investigate alerts from Managed SOC/SIEM, endpoint, identity, email-security, DLP, VPN/proxy and endpoint-compliance sources.
• Enrich SOC alerts using user, device, IP, ASN, geo-location, application, timestamp, IOC, endpoint posture, related tickets and historical evidence.
• Document investigations with working notes, screenshots, containment status, closure rationale, ticket updates and shift handover notes.
• Execute scheduled and ad hoc vulnerability scans for infrastructure and applications; validate findings before escalation.
• Perform web application and API security testing under defined scope; mobile application testing is excluded unless separately assigned in the future.
• Review SAST/DAST findings, assist with secure-code review and coordinate with application/development owners for remediation evidence.
• Track vulnerability remediation and retesting in ServiceNow or approved workflow tools; maintain clean closure, retest and exception evidence.
• Support containment actions including account disablement, device freeze/quarantine/isolation, suspicious-session review, user outreach and restoration evidence.
• Prepare SOC monitoring inputs and VAPT status inputs including open vulnerabilities, overdue remediation, retest outcomes, repeat findings and escalation items.
• Provide security evidence from SOC/VAPT work when requested for audit/client/security review; do not own GRC program activities.
• Ensure SOC alerts are triaged consistently with evidence, classification, escalation notes and closure rationale (success measure).
• Validate, document and track infrastructure, web/API and SAST/DAST findings through remediation or retest (success measure).
• Escalate high-risk identity, endpoint, email, DLP, vulnerability and VPN/proxy events without delay (success measure).
• Maintain ServiceNow/security tickets that are complete, evidence-backed and aligned to SOC/VAPT operating expectations (success measure).

• Attributes & Attitude

• Hands-on investigative mindset with the discipline to perform practical triage and testing, not only ticket monitoring or scanner-output forwarding.
• Strong escalation discipline — knows when and how to escalate to Consultant/InfoSec lead, IT Ops, GSD, Endpoint, Development, HR/Ops, TAM or Legal based on severity and impact.
• Meticulous evidence and retesting hygiene, consistently capturing screenshots, timestamps, tool outputs, reproduction steps and closure comments.
• Clear, business-formal written communication for incident notes, vulnerability findings, remediation follow-ups and shift handovers.
• Comfortable operating across a hybrid scope — balancing SOC alert response with VAPT execution within the same role.
• Collaborative approach when coordinating with application/development owners, IT Ops and cross-functional teams on remediation evidence.
• Ownership and accountability for closure quality, without extending into GRC program ownership.
• Adaptable and detail-oriented, able to brief a Consultant/InfoSec lead with concise facts and risk indicators.

Qualifications: Minimum 3-5 years of experience and working knowledge across the following areas:

• SOC Operations: 3-5 years in SOC, MDR, InfoSec operations, endpoint security, vulnerability management or security monitoring support; BPO, healthcare, PCI or client-regulated environment exposure preferred.
• Vulnerability Assessment: Ability to run scans, validate vulnerabilities, capture evidence, prepare remediation notes and support retesting; Nessus/Qualys/OpenVAS and ServiceNow remediation tracking experience preferred.
• Web/API Testing: Working knowledge of OWASP Top 10, web/API testing methodology and manual validation using Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP; experience preparing concise technical finding write-ups preferred.
• SAST/DAST/Code Review: Ability to review tool findings, understand vulnerable code patterns and coordinate with developers under senior guidance; familiarity with SonarQube, Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx, Veracode or Fortify preferred.
• Communication and Evidence: Clear business-formal writing for incident notes, vulnerability findings, remediation follow-ups and shift handovers; able to brief a Consultant/InfoSec lead with concise facts and risk indicators.
• SIEM/MDR Tooling: Arctic Wolf/Aurora, Microsoft Sentinel or equivalent SIEM, Splunk/QRadar fundamentals, ServiceNow ticketing and IOC enrichment workflows.
• Identity/Endpoint Tooling: Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, MFA, Defender for Endpoint, FortiEDR, Absolute, Intune/JamF, BitLocker/FileVault and endpoint evidence capture.
• Email/DLP Tooling: Abnormal AI / O365 email security, Microsoft Purview DLP, phishing/BEC/ATO investigation queues and remediation evidence.
• Network Vulnerability Tools: Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS, Nmap, basic Metasploit validation, Wireshark and SSL/TLS testing tools.
• AD/Windows Exposure Awareness: BloodHound, PingCastle and NetExec/CrackMapExec awareness for privilege path, misconfiguration and exposure validation under supervision.
• Web/API Testing Tools: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Postman, API collections and manual validation for authentication, authorization, session and input-handling issues.
• SAST Tools: Checkmarx, Veracode, SonarQube, Fortify, Snyk, Semgrep or equivalent; ability to read code paths and identify likely vulnerable patterns.
• DAST Tools: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Acunetix, Invicti/Netsparker, AppScan or equivalent; validate output before raising remediation tickets.
• Cloud Security Basics: Microsoft Defender for Cloud / Azure posture review basics, AWS exposure awareness, Prowler/ScoutSuite-style output interpretation where applicable.
• Connectivity Context: FortiSASE, FortiGate, VPN, IPQS/IP2Proxy or equivalent tools for VPN/proxy/geolocation validation.
• Desirable Certifications: eJPT / PNPT / CEH Practical, CompTIA PenTest+ / Security+ / CySA+, Burp Suite certification or web testing training, Splunk Core / SIEM fundamentals — all Good to Have.
