Rupert Jobson

@rupertjobson

I am an SOC-focused cybersecurity analyst skilled in threat detection, incident response, and risk mitigation.

What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level SOC role within a collaborative, modern SOC team where I can apply threat detection and incident response skills while learning from experienced mentors and advancing certifications.

I am an SOC-focused cybersecurity analyst who completed a 16-week intensive Capslock programme, gaining hands-on experience with Splunk, Metasploit, and Wireshark. I have completed RangeForce modules and practised threat hunting and incident response in lab-based SOC simulations.

I developed and delivered a phishing awareness initiative and staff training programme, proposed a human-factor project to reduce phishing-related risks, conducted an OCTAVE Allegro risk assessment, and produced a data lifecycle remediation plan informed by a Bugcrowd penetration test. I also authored an ISO27001:2022 audit plan and researched Windows and Linux system hardening strategies.

I combine practical technical skills with clear cross-functional communication and stakeholder engagement, and I hold CCSK, Ce-CSP and ISO27001 (BSI) certifications while pursuing CompTIA Security+ and CISMP. I am motivated to join a modern SOC team where I can apply and expand these real-world skills to secure digital environments.
