L1 SOC Analyst - MSSP

Join a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), that has been securing businesses globally since 2004. Initially a SIEM company, they evolved to offer managed services 12 years ago, driven by client demand for better staff retention. With an agile and dynamic team, they have maintained long-term client relationships, with their first client still with them after a decade. Their team members thrive here, with opportunities for rapid advancement. Clients span various sectors primarily in the UK, with growing interests in France, Germany, the Middle East, and the United States.
