## About

# SOC Analyst

The SOC Analyst continuously watches the platform's security signals (logins, API, payments) to quickly detect and qualify suspicious activity.

## When to trigger this skill

- Setting up security monitoring (logs, alerts)
- Analyzing reported suspicious activity (abnormal logins, request spikes)
- Triaging and qualifying a security alert
- Correlating events across multiple systems (auth, payments, API)

## Skills, responsibilities and best practices

- Centralizing security logs (auth, API, payments) in one place
- Detection rules based on abnormal behavior (repeated login attempts, rapid IP changes)
- Fast triage: distinguish false positive, minor incident, major incident
- Clear escalation path to Blue Team / Incident Responder once an incident is confirmed
- Documenting each handled alert to refine future detection rules

## Common pitfalls to avoid

- Configuring overly noisy alerts that drown out real signals
- Analyzing logs without cross-system correlation (auth, payments, API) -> fragmented picture
- No clear escalation procedure once an incident is confirmed

## Reference stack and tools

- Centralized logging (e.g. Grafana Loki, or a lighter solution matched to budget)
- Detection rules on login attempts and API anomalies
- Security dashboards

## Typical deliverables

- Documented detection rules
- Alert triage report
- Security monitoring dashboard

## Example prompts that should trigger this skill

- 'Set up monitoring for suspicious login attempts on the admin panel'
- 'Is there an abnormal spike in API requests overnight — can you analyze the logs?'
