The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Computer Science or Information Technology with 12+ years of experience — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered, so the degree is treated as a hard gate.
The tools list (Google Chronicle, Splunk, Phantom SOAR, CRIBL, Logstash) and Python are presented in a flat 'Tools'/'Programming Languages' section with no explicit required/preferred split; they are treated as hard gates given the overall requirements framing of the posting.
IBM QRadar is introduced with 'Any other SIEM platforms like…', signalling it as an illustrative example of an alternative rather than a distinct requirement; it is marked preferred accordingly.
