• Key Skills of a SOC Analyst
• Strong fundamental skills A thorough knowledge
  of network protocols, systems, and IT
  infrastructure is required of a SOC Analyst. SOC
  Analysts must be able to learn on the fly and
  adapt swiftly to changing threat scenarios. The
  majority of them must be able to think
  critically.
• Programming skills For cybersecurity experts,
  coding and programming abilities are essential.
  SOC Analysts frequently collaborate with
  cybersecurity engineers and specialists. They
  should have a strong understanding of JavaScript,
  C, and Python.
• Ethical hacking Skills Pen testing is a
  necessary skill for assessing the security of
  systems, online applications, and networks, as
  well as reporting irregularities. To detect,
  identify, and mitigate threats in a range of
  cyber-attacks around the world, SOC Analysts must
  demonstrate ethical hacking and pen testing
  expertise.
• Communication and collaboration SOC Analysts
  must communicate with all team members simply and
  effectively. Empathy, emotional intelligence, and
  motivation are all desirable qualities in a SOC
  Analyst. They should be able to effectively
  manage IOC alerts and incident defense tools for
  security breaches.
• Incident handling and documentation SOC Analysts
  document incidents, data breaches, and malicious
  activity. SOC Analysts must also be able to
  create and manage proper data backup and recovery
  procedures.

• Responsibilities of a SOC Analyst
• Set up and administer security software and
  tools The SOC Analysts should have access to a
  set of technology tools that provide insight into
  the company's security environment. 
• Investigate, contain, and prevent suspicious
  activities SOC Analysts investigate suspicious
  activities in IT systems and networks. They
  triage warnings, determine the scope of the
  threat, and respond accordingly. SOC Analysts can
  discover infected hosts and prevent them from
  infecting the rest of the network if a network
  system is compromised.
• Support for auditing and compliance SOC Analysts
  are in charge of auditing systems to ensure that
  they comply with government, business, and
  industry laws. Modern SOC Analysts use systems
  like the SIEM, which collects security data
  throughout the company.
• Ensure business continuity by reducing
  downtime Businesses must ensure that their
  network and systems are up and running with
  little or no downtime. SOC Analysts are in charge
  of notifying appropriate business stakeholders in
  the case of a breach. If feasible, risks are
  reduced before they reach critical business
  infrastructure.

• Assisting the rest of the business with
  security SOC Analysts are multi-functional
  organizations that bring together operations from
  many departments. They should ideally serve as
  shared service centers that benefit corporate
  stakeholders.
