What a Security Analyst does
Security analysts watch an organization's systems for signs of attack and investigate what they find. Most work in or alongside a security operations center, triaging alerts, deciding which are real and containing incidents. Where an application security engineer works on code before release, the analyst works on live systems, logs and user accounts, and often also handles vulnerability and compliance tasks.
