What does the day look like?
Around 65% of your shift is spent triaging queue alerts in SIEM and EDR consoles. Using platforms like Splunk Enterprise Security, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon, and SentinelOne, you correlate IP addresses and DNS lookups, check authentication logs, and close benign events. Another 20% goes into ticket documentation in Jira Service Management, updating runbooks, and escalating incidents to Tier 2 analysts. About 10% involves communicating with end users to investigate reported phishing emails. The glamorous work people imagine—active incident response drills or dynamic malware analysis using VirusTotal and Any.Run—takes up only 5% of the day.
Operations run 24/7/365. Analysts work rotational shifts, typically 12-hour shifts (3 days on, 4 days off, alternating between day and night) or rolling 8-hour shifts that cover weekends and public holidays. On-call escalation is standard.
