About candidate
About you
As a SOC Analyst Level 1 (L1) my responsibility is to monitor security alerts, performing initial triage, and escalating potential threats for deeper investigation. I work with tools like SIEM, EDR, and firewalls to identify suspicious activities, document findings, and follow playbooks for incident handling. Also focus on real-time threat detection, log analysis, and ensuring timely response while collaborating closely with senior team members for guidance and escalation.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I'm looking for a role that allows me to build on my current experience in threat detection, triage, and incident response, while also offering opportunities to learn and grow within a collaborative security team. I'm particularly interested in environments where I can work with more advanced tools, gain exposure to complex threats, and contribute to improving detection and response processes.
What you are interested in working with us?
Really interested in this role because it gives me the chance to move deeper into OT/ICS security. I want to apply my current skills in monitoring and triage to protect critical infrastructure and learn more about how industrial control systems work.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences was handling a malware attack involving SMB lateral movement. I had to quickly isolate the affected machine, perform in-depth investigation to trace the initial access point, and coordinate with the team to contain the threat and prevent further spread across the network.

I am writing to apply for the Remote OT/ICS Security Analyst role. I am currently working as a SOC Analyst Level 1, where I monitor alerts, check logs, and handle the first steps of security incidents. I use tools like SIEM, EDR, and firewalls to find any suspicious activity and follow playbooks to respond. I also work closely with senior team members to make sure everything is handled the right way.
I like learning, I work well under pressure, and I always try to do my best to help the team. I’m excited about the chance to grow in this field and take on new challenges. Thank you for considering my application. I would be happy to talk more in an interview.
Sincerely,
Tarun V K
