Hi Ben,
I absolutely do not want to bash on your job post, and I understand that sometimes there can be frustrating experiences with job search platforms (e.g., if you do not specify better on LinkedIn, it will add "entry level" to a job post, even when it really is not) as communication breakdowns with HR departments, etc.
Just kindly consider that this kind of post is, by their nature, very gatekeeping. It has been scientifically proven, that male candidates will apply to job posts when they do not meet all their requirements (sometimes down to meeting less than 40% of them); women, instead, tend not to apply even if they do not meet only part of them (they need to match more than 80% of the requirements).
By writing a post with many requirements and saying "yes, there are contradicting requirements, but it is not essential, just apply anyway, we will consider you", you are being very masculine.
You can also check your ad on Internet tools like this:

Again, not bashing on the job post at all, and it is great you are hiring! It is just a suggestion. I am sure your company is great to work for.
Have a lovely day!

Agree that the linked posting is for a more experienced hire but we will consider true entry level candidates (just out of school, retraining, etc). I encourage you to apply if you are interested.

Hi Ben,
You said entry level on your post but the job description requests 2 years of experience.

Nordic Global's SOC is growing and we are hiring remote entry level (or higher) Security Analysts. We are a cloud native Healthcare IT company with a security-first mindset. Come work with us and learn what a modern, multi-cloud SOC looks like. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to break into the industry or an experienced analyst looking to work with a modern tool chain (Sentinel, Defender, Azure/AWS).
Here is more information on the position.
