Penetration and SOC Engineer

The role of a Penetration and SOC Engineer is a unique and critical hybrid position designed to bridge the gap between finding vulnerabilities and effectively defending against them. This individual wears two hats, making them exceptionally valuable for building a resilient security posture.SOC Analyst is the first step to joining a security operations center (SOC).
 

Responsibilities: The "Penetration" (Offensive) Hat

  1. Proactive Threat Simulation:

    • Conduct authorized penetration tests on applications, networks, cloud infrastructure, and physical controls.

    • Perform Adversary Emulation: Mimic the specific Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of real-world threat actors relevant to the industry.

  2. Vulnerability Discovery & Validation:

    • Go beyond automated scanner results. Manually exploit vulnerabilities to prove their real-world impact and business risk (e.g., not just finding a SQL injection, but using it to exfiltrate sensitive data).

    • Test and validate if newly deployed security controls (e.g., a new WAF rule, EDR policy) can actually prevent known attack techniques.

  3. Red Team Collaboration:

    • Participate in or support full-scope Red Team exercises designed to test the organization's overall detection and response capabilities without alerting the Blue Team.

  4. Tool Development:

    • Develop custom scripts, tools, or exploits to test for specific vulnerabilities that off-the-shelf tools might miss.

Responsibilities: The "SOC" (Defensive) Hat

  1. Defensive Tooling Expertise:

    • Manage, tune, and optimize core SOC tools: SIEM, EDR/XDR, Network Detection and Response (NDR), and firewalls.

    • Critical Task: Use penetration testing insights to create more effective detection rules and alerts in the SIEM and EDR platforms.

  2. Threat Hunting Lead:

    • Lead proactive threat hunting campaigns based on intelligence gained from penetration tests. For example: "I know how I broke in during the last test; let me now hunt for any evidence of that same activity in our live environment."

  3. Incident Response Enhancement:

    • Serve as an escalation point during complex incidents, providing deep expertise on how an attacker might be operating within the environment.

    • Perform forensic analysis to understand the root cause and scope of a breach.

  4. Security Control Validation:

    • Continuously test and verify that security controls (e.g., endpoint protection, segmentation, logging) are functioning as intended and cannot be easily bypassed.
