Thiruvananthapuram has an opening for a SOC Analyst, based on-site at Technopark, Kazhakkoottam, with a salary up to ₹1,05,500 per month. It's a full-time cybersecurity role focused on monitoring and responding to security events as they come in, not a general IT support position with security tacked on.
Who fits this role
The employer wants a bachelor's degree, and given the work, one in cybersecurity or a closely related technical field is best. Alongside that, three years of hands-on SOC or security operations experience is expected. That's enough time to have sat through real incidents rather than only reading about them in a lab exercise.
Daily responsibilities
- Monitoring systems continuously to catch vulnerabilities and unusual activity before they turn into bigger problems
- Setting up and tuning protective controls, since a control configured once and left alone tends to drift out of sync with what's actually being defended
- Supporting incident response the moment something gets flagged, from initial triage through to containment
- Recommending changes after each incident or review, so the same gap doesn't get exploited twice
Say a server that normally only talks to three internal addresses suddenly starts reaching out to an external one it's never contacted before. That's the kind of detail an analyst on this desk is expected to notice and chase down, often well before anyone downstream reports a problem.
Skills required
- SIEM tools, comfortable enough to build and adjust detection rules, not just read the dashboard
- Threat detection, spotting patterns that don't match normal system behavior
- Incident response, moving from alert to containment under time pressure
- Log analysis, tracing an event back through multiple systems to find where it actually started
A CompTIA Security+ certification is a reasonable baseline, and GCIH will strengthen an application for candidates aiming to move into incident response leadership later. Basic scripting for parsing large log sets also saves real time, since manually filtering thousands of log lines during an active incident isn't a good use of anyone's shift.
The work environment
This is fully on-site at Technopark, working shifts alongside the rest of the SOC team rather than remotely. Naukri Mitra's client here runs a 24x7 monitoring desk, so coverage rotates, and analysts hand off open items at shift change with notes on anything still being tracked. Some shifts pass with nothing more than routine log review; others involve a live incident that pulls in the whole team until it's contained.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates relocating to Thiruvananthapuram
Pay and location
Compensation for this SOC Analyst role goes up to ₹1,05,500 per month and is based at Technopark, Kazhakkoottam. For anyone comparing SOC analyst salaries in Thiruvananthapuram, this sits above average for the city, reflecting the shift-based, hands-on nature of the desk.
Applying
Submit a resume detailing your SOC or security operations background, including any SIEM platforms you've configured and incidents you've worked directly on. The hiring team reviews applications on a rolling basis, so putting specific tools and incident types front and center in the resume, rather than burying them under a general summary, tends to get a faster read.
