Monitor SOC communication channels and ensure timely response to inquiries, escalations, and stakeholder coordination
Escalate high-severity and complex incidents in line with SLAs, including immediate notification for potential P1/P2 cases
Conduct effective shift handovers, ensuring active and critical cases are transferred with full context
Identify and report operational gaps, anomalies, or delays within the same shift to relevant leads
