Networks generate noise constantly — most of it harmless, some of it not. We're hiring an
Online Network Security Operations Analyst whose job is to tell the difference, catch what matters, and act on it before it becomes an incident report instead of a footnote.
Role Overview
This position sits at the center of our network defense efforts, combining real-time monitoring with hands-on incident response. You'll be working with alerts, logs, and traffic data continuously, using both automated tooling and your own judgment to separate genuine threats from routine activity. Precision matters here — a missed signal can cost far more than an over-cautious one.
Core Responsibilities
- Monitoring networks in real time and responding swiftly to confirmed security incidents
- Analyzing alerts and anomalies to identify potential breaches before they escalate
- Investigating suspicious activity using IDS/IPS systems and correlating events across sources
- Managing and fine-tuning SIEM platforms to improve detection accuracy and response speed
- Reviewing network traffic patterns for signs of unauthorized access or unusual behavior
- Collaborating with incident response and threat intelligence teams on coordinated defense efforts
- Contributing to malware analysis and threat research when incidents call for deeper investigation
Qualifications We're Looking For
Candidates should bring proven experience in a network security or SOC environment, along with practical knowledge of SIEM tools, IDS/IPS systems, and incident-response procedures. Strong analytical ability is essential — this role involves constantly interpreting incomplete data and making fast, informed decisions. Effective collaboration matters, too, since resolving incidents often requires close coordination with other security and engineering teams.
This posting will be a natural match for anyone actively searching for
remote network security analyst jobs or a SOC analyst vacancy near me, and it also reflects broader 2026 cybersecurity hiring patterns, where organizations are investing more heavily in dedicated network defense roles rather than spreading responsibility thin across general IT staff.
Skills That Set Candidates Apart
- Experience with threat intelligence platforms and understanding of adversary tactics
- Familiarity with malware analysis techniques, including reverse engineering or sandbox testing
- Hands-on packet analysis and deep-dive network traffic investigation experience
- A track record of building or refining detection rules and custom SIEM dashboards
Compensation and Growth
The role offers a salary of
$52,000 per year. At
Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this position is a strong example — genuine responsibility for network defense, with a clear trajectory toward more specialized security roles as your expertise deepens. It's suited to analysts who want their work to have measurable, immediate impact.
Working Environment
Expect a focused, detail-driven team culture where accuracy is valued over speed for its own sake, though both matter when an incident is live. Communication is direct and collaborative — analysts here are expected to flag concerns early and work through them together rather than sitting on uncertainty. It's a good fit for professionals who take security seriously without needing a rigid, hand-held structure to stay effective.
