SOC teams work closely with response teams to resolve security issues when they are discovered. When a system is compromised by an intrusion, the SOC analyst assesses the damage caused and helps develop a technical solution to restore service in coordination with other business stakeholders. They also ensure that security monitoring tools, such as SIEM, are up to date and play a preventive role with users by ensuring compliance with best practices and providing security advice.

The day-to-day tasks of the SOC Analyst Operator include threat detection and response, implementation of best practices and tools, monitoring and continuous improvement, and reporting and documentation. These activities include real-time identification and analysis of security events, assessment of the severity of security incidents, notification and processing of incidents, participation in the development and maintenance of event correlation rules, contribution to the improvement of procedures and continuous monitoring of threats, updating of documentation and analysis of compromises.
