Associate Detection and Response Analyst (Associate SOC Analyst)
You know that NOP sleds dont go down snowbanks, and that IR isnt just on the electromagnetic spectrum. In fact, youve owned a few boxes with Metasploit, maybe even tinkered with exploit code. You were really excited the first time you got a reverse shell. Meterpreter might be your payload of choice, maybe even Beacon. You have a lab where youre spending less time in a Command shell, and more time in PowerShell. You love to solve problems, youre curious to a fault, and obsessed with learning.
Or maybe youve focused just on defense. You remind anyone that will listen to you to update and patch. You understand TCP/IP, know how to analyze pcap files and write detections to defend networks (labs count!). You know ways malware can survive a reboot and how to gather evidence that can prove a file previously executed. Youre constantly reading articles and asking yourself, how would I detect this?
Do you dig the breadth and diversity that is the threat landscape? Are you motivated by curiosity to pursue investigative leads and even hunt for attacker activity? Have you gotten a handle on the basics of security analysis and are itching to wield your powers in live environments?
Well then, we'd love to speak with you. Serving as a Security Analyst at Expel may be just what you're looking for. Not only will you help our customers stay safe, you'll learn how to think like an attacker, respond to real attacks, and be encouraged to innovate and solve problems. Surrounded by seasoned analysts, you'll have no shortage of mentors eager to help you master the art.

Familiarity with the attack lifecycle (or kill chain, if you prefer)
