Your Career
Palo Alto Networks Information Security team is looking for a Security Operations Center (SOC) Senior Manager to join the Global Security Operations team. As the senior manager of the team, you will lead the Tel Aviv-based group of SOC analysts and engineers in support of the SOCâs mission to protect the company from cyberattacks. You will be responsible for threat detection and incident response across our internal environments. The scope of the Security Operations team spans both the Enterprise and Product environments.

Many SOCs are drowning in false positive alerts, but Palo Alto Networks SOC changed the game and re-invented how Security Operations should function. Our vigilant focus on automation, prevention and high-fidelity alerts enables our analysts to be more proactive. Our analysts do not spend their days sifting through alerts. Instead, their workloads are split evenly between (1) analyzing and responding to high fidelity alerts (2) proactive threat hunting and (3) contributing to a variety of different projects aligned to their personal interests. As the Security Operations Center (SOC) Manager, you will ensure we are practicing this philosophy.
