I just completed the SOC AUTOMATION PROJECT, and I must say it's the best I've seen so far. I learnt more than I ever anticipated, thank you for always putting high quality content here for us to learn
@@korabkanwar6784 you might want to look at his profile page to see all the project and start with the easy ones like wireshark, vulnerability assessment and Active directory.
Thanks for sharing. Been working in IT as Network Admin since 2018 but really want to move into Cybersecurity/SOC role. Lots of stuff out there to learn but will check out your material.
I really like how you try to give us insight into the reality of job prospects in cyber. I'm going full speed right now, but I feel like I'm getting pulled in so many different directions trying to learn all this material. I'm not sure at what point I can even consider myself qualified to apply for a job. Hearing that SOC 1 may not be as in demand is slightly discouraging, but I hope there will still be companies that give newcomers a chance.
You can do it! You’ll need to put just a bit more effort into really understanding what and why you do what you do. Don’t fall into the trap of completing labs and projects for the sake of completing them. Ask yourself why are you using this tool? Why is this teacher going down this path? Is there another way? Etc. Hope that helps! I am always here if you need me!
@@MyDFIR ohh! that's great coming in June so encourage the subscribers in your future videos to save money aside on that investment of your course in June. Remember there is no such thing call free lunch we have to respect your time and work including resources on the course hence the need to reinvest in future courses.
Do you think you can do a lab using volatility for analysis? Great work keep doing it bro! Every time I look for what tools I need to know before applying to a job are tools like volatility or Velociraptor.
Good question, researchers are tasked to find the latest and greatest things related to cybersecurity. This can be malware, tools, exploits, vulnerabilities etc. SOC analysts are simply tasked to monitor, detect & respond to threats for an organization. 2 different roles for sure. 👍
Finally installed wazuh .. got inspired by John Hammond.. I find most Soc systems seem to drain or really slow down my pc . I have got about 16 gigs of rams and a fairly decent cpu .. be interested in your thoughts
I need to go back to corporate but have been out of the game for a while. Do people still get their own cubicle for privacy? Can you do 4 hours of work and 4 hours of surf the web now in 2024?
I’ve been WFH for a while so I cannot say for sure however for a SOC analyst, you will likely be in an enclosed space. It’s quite rare to have a SOC out in the open and likely don’t have much time to surf the web other than performing OSINT to help with the alerts. For other roles, yea I could see 4 hours work 4 hours “research”
Hey! Can’t say for sure but my opinion on many cybersecurity certifications is that it doesn’t really matter what cert you get as long as you gain the knowledge. At the end of the day you’ll want a popular cert such as security+ and perhaps a certificate that is within your domain of interest.
Hey DFIR, I had a quick question which relates to one of your previous videos on the roadmap to a SOC analyst job. I've heard some people say that it's not really a good idea to pursue a cybersecurity job with no related non-cyber exprience, and they said I should look for something like a helpdesk/network admin/sysadmin job before pivoting into security. Can I get your thoughts on this?
Great question! I would say they are correct. Starting in helpdesk would be something I would recommend as it teaches the individual to not only learn how to communicate but to also troubleshoot. However, this does not mean it is a MUST. You can still get into cyber without it but it would be that much harder. Heck Ive seen folks become a SOC analyst straight from selling shoes. They did attend school for cybersecurity though so it’s not completely random haha
I love your videos, you are amazing. I am new in the cyber security field and I have just completed Google cyber security professional certificate. I learnt a lot but I am still not confident enough, should i take more courses? Also, I need to get hands-on projects and I have seen a few here on your channel, Which would you recommend?
Great question, before taking more courses you want to ask yourself where do you not feel confident in? What topic? As for projects, Active Directory Project is one of the “easier” ones and then SOC Automation. I would do both if I were you but start with the Active Directory one.
