Cloud SOC Analyst

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to leverage your Cloud Security expertise in a high impact role? Booz Allen has an opportunity to showcase your talents by supporting the United States Air Force. Cloud threats move faster than traditional security operations—and organizations increasingly rely on resilient, intelligence-driven cloud defenses.

As a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst on our team, you’ll monitor and analyze threats, using state-of-the-art tools. You’ll work with the team to understand, mitigate, and respond to threats quickly, restoring operations and limiting the impact. You’ll analyze incidents to figure out just how many systems are affected and assist recovery efforts. You’ll combine threat intelligence, event data, and assessments from recent events, and identify patterns to understand attackers’ goals to stop them from succeeding.

You should thrive in a fast-paced environment, be able to translate customer needs, and assist others in migration and solutioning of mission critical capabilities. Work with us as we secure our client from malicious actors.
