Due to the nature of clients we work with here at Kinexus and the projects these roles will be based on, an Australian Government Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) clearance is essential.
These opportunities do not have the ability to obtain sponsorship for a security clearance (including applicants who currently hold a security clearance seeking to upgrade).
ABOUT THIS ROLE Our large federal government client requires a SOC Analyst to manage the administration and monitoring of security systems.
This includes integration of security and monitoring services within customer networks, as well as engagement with customers on security requirements and ongoing security improvement to systems.
The Specified Person will be expected to demonstrate attributes of SFIA Level of Responsibility 3.
Current Top-Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) security clearance is strongly preferred, however candidates who have held a TSPV in the previous 12-month period (which has since been downgraded) may be considered.

Configure and maintain COTS security systems such as a SIEM, threat detection technologies, vulnerability management platforms and Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW).
Use network management tools to collect and report on network load and performance statistics.
