Monitors and responds to alerts from tools such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), and intrusion detection systems, then triages each alert to determine whether it is a real threat or a false positive and how urgently it needs attention.

For genuine threats, they investigate logs, network traffic, and endpoint activity to understand what happened and how far it spread, then contain the threat by isolating hosts, blocking IPs or accounts, and escalating serious incidents.

They document their findings and actions in tickets and incident reports, and they continually refine detection rules to reduce noise and catch new attack techniques.
