Im in my Bachelors for Cyber Security and have taken a deep dive into the amount of video content available on Cyber Security. The content you've created here is unique in that it really gives a look into the daily routine of a security analyst. From meetings, cloud platform resources, attacks and real techniques used to remediate them. This has been very positive and helpful. Thank you!

[biancawilson]

This is the video I've been looking for! An actual DAY IN THE LIFE! Thank you!

[DELLTOGRAPHY]

Bro! Thank you! You are the first person to actually show some work and programs that are used in the cyber security field. Everybody else just say what they do or how they do it but never actually show work or programs. Thank you for content. I am just now getting into the field and wanted to see some daily work or activities, so thank you.

I have a Bachelors in IT but started delving into Cyber Security. I'm currently studying for the SOC analyst position but not sure if this is the route I want to go. Your video gives insightful perspective especially with the tools you use (i.e. Splunk SOAR, Crowdstrike Endpoint Security & XDR and Abuseipdb). Thanks Jono!

In my bsc of cyber final year. Realized late that i haven't been purposeful in chasing this dream and i got back on my feet . Studying now to follow the SOC analyst path. With God's help I'll get get there. Thank you

[TheAshleyone]

I have to admit that you are the most real SOC Analyst that I find and it is great to listen to. Keep up the great work.

[joshholmes]

It's not really called phantom anymore, just Splunk SOAR. As a SOC lead..that calendar made me cry. My days are all meetings lol. Kind of surprised your company allows footage about actual work content. This was a pretty great highlight of a day in the life of a soc analyst. You seem to operate in a tierless role, which i appreciate. 100% agree on remote work.

A "Real" day in the life video. Super legit. Thanks.

[elilucha]

The best video I have seen so far explaining a normal day In the life of a Cyber security analyst. Thanks for sharing.

[Kartelbranded]

This is the best video of Day in the Life of Cyber analyst I have ever seen. Keep up good quality, real, NO BS content like

[Screwny_--_]

I like that you got straight to the point not like other yters where they say they go do yoga then for a run then breakfast then to work and they don’t even show what they do. Keep it up

[icecole]

Great video! I start a cybersecurity job this summer after I graduate . It’s WFH and I’ve worked in data science with this company as an intern and had to do some basic data security work! Thanks for the insights!

[TheOneAndOnlyNomad]

This is the first video I've seen on this type. Other videos say "a day in the life " but turns out to be crap and not a full run down of duties etc. thanks for the video!

[LeoSnake]

Can't wait man. Look forward to getting away from manual labor. Great content. Keep growing

[Ammoywen]

I love the way you edited this! WFH seems like so much fun

[DeezelxDramz]

hello! fellow remote cybersecurity analyst here :) This has to be the most realistic and least "hype" video about being a remote worker, especially in IT / cyber. Cheers!

I agree with your points about productivity. Not being stuck in those small talk loops, or worse - not getting along with your co workers at all. At least being remote, it is harder to find those contentious working moments (aside from investigating alerts ahaha gah! blasted windows defender)

But I enjoy it thoroughly, currently i'm a level 1 analyst and skilling up as my time goes on, leveraging the extra free time i have not being forced to office travel and traffic commute, and since i am home - if i ever get bored or video games arent enough, my work stuff is right here and I can do some of those personal projects from my office for a bit if i choose.

Great video.

[Scbriber]

Just want to echo what a lot of other comments are already saying, but thank you for such an insightful video on an actual day in the life of a SOC Analyst. For those of us actually looking into becoming an analyst, this helps much more compared to the more entertainment type day in the life videos (which are also still cool to watch).

[jackshink]

Hey, I'm 23 and working as an emergency triage analyst. This video was very fun to watch as we have a lot of the same parts to the however even though I am 23 and never went to a full 4-year college program or have any degrees in the industry atm. I applied in 2021 for this job and during the past year I studied cyber security over 4 hours a day for over a year. I feel as this field is growing at an exponential rate. I am currently working to get some certs. This field requires skills and care of what you do and putting your all into everything. I really appreciate your videos and would love to make one like this. Thanks for sharing!!!

[peikinwinner]

Wow!! An actual Day! Most people just hide and don't really show you anything. They just talk. Im in a boot camp right now, and I can't wait to start my first professional job.

[francisfrancis]

Thanks for the lesson. Cloudstrike also does application control with other solutions, so you don't need to call the User.
