The Rol

eAt L2, you'll move beyond first-line triage and into the heart of the SOC's investigative work. You'll be the escalation point for L1 analysts, taking ownership of complex and high-priority incidents from initial escalation through to resolution and post-incident reporting. Alongside reactive work, you'll be conducting proactive threat hunting across the environment — identifying indicators of compromise before they become incidents
