As a Cyber Security Administrator, your main tasks will include monitoring and analyzing security alerts using SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) tools.

You should have hands-on experience with security tools like endpoint protection, cloud security, and email security. A good understanding of SaaS security, identity management, and data loss prevention is also important.

You must be skilled in scripting or programming, particularly PowerShell, and have experience with Azure security services. Certifications in cyber security, cloud platforms, or IT security are a plus. A bachelor’s degree in computer science, cyber security, or a related field is preferred, but not always required. Soft skills like teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving are also essential.
