I've put a lot of time into this and have interviewed a bunch of candidates who want to become SOC analysts. The TLDR is that many candidates are lacking the fundamentals. PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THIS.

Follow this roadmap and do the trainings, take it one step at a time. Cybersecurity is difficult and not easy.

[headshotcaptain]

THIS is EXACTLY what's needed for those such as myelf that is painstakenly trying to break into/still break into the Cyber Security field. The blueprint outlined in this video is logical from beginning to end that cuts straight to the point, unlike how its conveyed to beginners/enthusiasts alike from bullshit cyber security influencers. Thank you for a concise blueprint on how to land a rewarding career as a SOC Analyst!

[Destroymaster]

awesome, im taking this similar path but for network engineering. im studying A+ at the moment. will be studying for network+ once i get certified for A+, then ill be going for CCNA and CCNP.

[deionfelix]

So motivational thank for you dedication and enthusiasm to changing lives

[EmarFlix-qn]

what about hacking skils? can we become SOC anaylst with zero knowlagede of red team operations?

[Linux]

My projects got me my first job even though I had an unrelated degree

[xrZt]

As a SOC analyst I'd love to see the same roadmap video but for "threat hunting".
All in all, fantastic content as always, really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the community! 🙏

Your channel is awesome bro. I’m sad I didn’t find it earlier lol.

I just finished the video you made with the free alternatives to the cdsa. Since you mentioned both the cdsa and the ccd in this video which would you think is more beginner friendly coming off from finishing google cybersecurity certification? I was thinking BTL1 would be even more beginner friendly than going for either of those, but now I’m thinking about just doing the free resources instead.

This video popped up on my timeline and I couldn’t be more thankful. It’s highly informative, I wish I came up 6months before now, nevertheless, I’m glad it it out now. I’ll try gaining knowledge on certain things I skipped. And I hope budding Soc analysts come across this video too, cos it’s highly impactful

Hi,

I am planning on buying the roadmap written on a .pdf on gumroad but what is the difference between this video and the .pdf thanks! and any alternatives to CCD or HTB certification they are expensive for me as a student

[melioraetude]

I only obtained Associate’s Degree. Is that enough for me to land a job with skills?

[ShrustiShaholiya]

For beginner in this field of soc analyst what should we take second step?

[MarcioOz]

I've just transitioned from two years in cyber GRC to a SecOps Lead Analyst role in a SOC and I'm encoutering challenges in investigating IDS/IPS and WAF (ModSec) firings, monitoring our m365 environment with Microsoft Defenter, and building & running Splunk searches for network monitoring, detection and response. To make things more interesting, I have no hands-on experience in digital forensics (pcap analysis). I am looking for an ideal course that will help me expand on my technical skills, and am torn between SEC504 (SANS) and the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate. Which one would you recommend me?

[BilalSAVAGE]

Hi DFIR, I am a second year bachelors student and just recently completed the Google CyS cert. Would you recommend me to go for Security+ now or later? (personally my plan was to do this during summer) but I heard from people that it expires after 3 years and you should only do it close to graduation or when job finding...I personally thought that if I do it now it'll help me land a good internship in my 3rd year summer obviously along with good projects in my resume, and even after graduation I would have 1 year before it expires.

Gracias por el contenido
No hay mucho que se refieran a Blue Team, hardering de equipo etc ...
Gracias.

[marlinshanklin-wwem]

God bless you and continued growth for your channel.

[KickingAndGoals]

Trying to do a career change and this is by far the most logical roadmap. It just makes sense to learn hardware then network and then dive into security. You need the fundamentals regardless. Thanks for the info!

[Ynerson]

So happy I just found you great content

[johnvardy]

Definitely the best advisor in the field

[joshuaspeshock]
