What does a day in the life of a SOC Analyst look like?

SOC Analysts monitor security dashboards, triage SIEM alerts, investigate potential threats, document findings in tickets, and escalate confirmed incidents. A typical shift involves reviewing 50 to 200 alerts, with most being false positives or benign true positives. The work is shift-based (often 12-hour rotations), fast-paced during incidents, and requires strong pattern recognition and documentation discipline.
