SOC / MDR Analyst

The SOC / MDR Analyst SkillBridge participant operates within a Covenant HR employer partner’s security operations environment. Under the supervision of a designated SOC or MDR industry mentor, the participant conducts alert triage, SIEM platform operations, threat detection, and incident response support across a 16-week structured program. Training progresses from SOC environment orientation and threat fundamentals through behavioral analytics, threat hunting, and detection engineering, culminating in a live analyst desk capstone where the participant manages real alerts with minimal supervision. The program concludes with a performance debrief, employment offer discussion, and a credentialing roadmap aligned to CompTIA Sec+, CySA+, GCIA, or relevant SANS certification pathways.
