The tasks performed by a Vendorsecurity.ai SOC Analyst are focused on the daily vulnerability management of vendors' environments. These tasks include:
The SOC Analyst continuously monitors the security posture of third-party vendor environments and security architecture. They identify if any current vulnerabilities could potentially impact the security and assess the associated risks. They then communicate these findings to the customer using established governance and risk management processes.
The SOC Analyst stays up to date with the latest security threats and ensures that they understand how these threats could affect the third-party vendor environment and security architecture. This allows them to proactively address potential vulnerabilities and take appropriate actions.
The SOC Analyst actively looks for any security breaches that may compromise the sensitive data and information of the third-party vendor. If they detect any breach, they promptly inform the customer about the potential risks associated with the current implementation.
The SOC Analyst analyzes the type of security threats that could target the third-party vendor's security operations. By understanding the nature of these threats, they can develop effective strategies to mitigate and prevent them.
When the SOC Analyst identifies an immediate threat to the security of the third-party vendor, they promptly alert the customer. This allows for quick response and remediation to minimize potential damage.
In response to security threats, the SOC Analyst suggests temporary fixes or advises on mitigation measures. These actions aim to eliminate or contain the security threats and ensure the security of the company's data and information.
The SOC Analysts collaborate with the vendor and customer teams to recommend industry-standard security procedures, methods, and best practices. By leveraging their expertise, they assist in enhancing the overall security posture of the third-party vendor's environment.
