LetsDefend SOC Analyst Skill Assessment

LetsDefend SOC Analyst Skill Assessment is a platform designed to evaluate the technical skills of cybersecurity job candidates through practical challenges. The system allows hiring managers and security teams to send real-world cyber incident scenarios to candidates during the interview process. The platform operates through a three-step workflow: recruiters select a relevant cyber incident (such as SIEM alerts, compromised systems, phishing emails, ransomware attacks, or malware campaigns) and send it to candidates via email. Candidates then complete the investigation challenge in a browser-based environment. Upon completion, hiring managers receive detailed reports showing the candidate's performance and activities during the investigation. The assessment challenges are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and simulate actual SOC analyst responsibilities. The platform provides hands-on blue team challenges that test practical incident response and investigation skills rather than theoretical knowledge. Reports generated by the system include detailed information about how candidates approached the investigation, what actions they took, and their overall performance. The platform also tracks all activities performed by candidates during their assessment, providing visibility into their investigation methodology and technical decision-making process. The service is positioned as a skill assessment tool for interviews, specifically targeting organizations hiring for SOC analyst and blue team positions. It aims to help security managers evaluate candidates' practical abilities in handling real-world security incidents.
