Explanation

Security Engineers (C) are the hands-on implementers responsible for building, configuring, and deploying security controls and solutions - when a new process or technology is selected to protect an asset, the Security Engineer is the one who actually puts it in place.

• Security Architect (A) designs the overall security framework and selects which solution to use, but doesn't typically do the hands-on implementation.
• SOC Manager (B) oversees the Security Operations Center team focused on monitoring and incident response, not deploying new solutions.
• Security Analyst (D) analyzes threats, investigates incidents, and assesses risk - they identify that something needs to be done, not carry out the technical implementation.

Memory tip: Think of the hierarchy as Architect → Engineer → Analyst. The Architect plans, the Engineer builds, and the Analyst monitors. When something needs to be implemented, that's the Engineer's job - just like a construction engineer builds what the architect designed.
