Cyber Systems Operations Specialists Jobs

971,790 open positions · Updated daily

Cyber Systems Operations Specialists are at the frontline of protecting enterprise assets, blending real‑time monitoring with AI‑driven threat detection. The surge in ransomware, supply‑chain attacks, and zero‑day exploits has pushed organizations to double down on SOC capabilities, making these roles more critical and competitive than ever.

Within the field, specialists split into focused tracks: SOC Analyst (Tier 1‑2), Incident Responder, Threat Hunter, Security Automation Engineer, and Digital Forensics Analyst. Typical day‑to‑day duties include ingesting SIEM alerts, orchestrating SOAR playbooks, hunting for stealthy adversaries, automating response workflows, or dissecting compromised systems to recover evidence.

Because compensation hinges on tool proficiency, shift patterns, and certification levels, salary transparency is essential. Open pay data lets specialists benchmark against peers, negotiate fair packages, and plan skill investments that align with market demand.
