I just graduated with my Associates in Computer Science. If I had known that it was not wholly needed, I wouldn't have gone back to school for it. It's nice to have and a good thing to show my kids that you can do whatever you want as long as you set your mind to it. I will not be going back for a bachelor's like I had planned, however. I believe it's a better financial decision.
Hi, can you please upload a video about entry level/junior soc analyst interview questions, i watched your previous video and it was really good, i have my interview in a couple of days
Hey man , what do i need before starting to apply for job? I have a google it support, google cybersecurity and im preparing to get the comptia security +… what’s the next step ?
ARM mac? Or Intel Mac? Regardless, you can think of using online labs to upskill and learn new tools. If Intel Mac, try spinning up your own home lab! If ARM Mac, use the cloud and practice there.
Do you recommend me, an undergraduate in my junior year, a student under a Bachelor's Degree in cybersecurity to apply as early as now? or should I set it aside and finish my degree first?
I would recommend you set aside for now while thinking about working on your hands on skills. I’d rather you put more effort into learning at this stage.
I took the Google I.T specialist and cyber security analyst certificates. I am not sure which path to take, but whichever can help me get my foot in there the quickest. Please advise me if possible
The unfortunate reality is that there is no “fast” but I would say IT first and then transition into cybersecurity. Folks who go this route tend to ease into it a lot “easier”
I hope you see this , I’m looking for advise on how to improve my understanding of alerts , I work for an mssp so we use wide range of tools like rapid7 , splunk , Cynet etc , I often find myself overwhelmed by the different types of alerts coming from those tools and want to improve on my understanding, or if you could do some video on common types of network related alerts and endpoint alerts would really be helpful!
Alerts are definitely an interesting topic. I can’t really say “common” alerts as each org is different but my advice is to think about the triage phase and how you can triage better to help tackle that. To triage better you must understand what data sources you have and are available to you. If you notice similar alerts coming in with the same outcome, perhaps that is a tuning opportunity!
Peace Steven. I love your channel because it makes this simple, not easy. My question is can I work for a SOC company in Canada even though I’m in the US with no Canadian residency? Also what is your thoughts on Cisco Jr Cybersecurity Analyst career path?
Honestly I wouldn’t count on it, is it possible? Sure but it would be quite difficult and tack on the current job market makes it near impossible IMO. Any reason why you would want to try your land a job in Canada? Don’t have to share if not comfortable! Just curious as the US definitely has more opportunities. As for Cisco, it seems to be alright, good for starters and likely theory based which means you’ll need to think about hands on experience afterwards.
Hi, thank you for your video. I was wondering. Can one get into Cloud security analyst role as an entry level personnel? Or do I have to pass through cyber security SOC role first? The road map I currently envisage is networking - Google cyber- Microsoft cybersecurity analyst- Microsoft SOC course - Az 500 course. Does this roadmap look sufficient? Thanks
Thank you for your great Job. Love it. I do have a question regarding your SOC Roadmap. Instead of the Google Professional Cybersecurity cert, can one study for the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate?
Great question, yup you can. Do note that after completing Googles program you’ll get a voucher for Sec+ but if you don’t care about that then by all means, Microsoft is fine 👍
You can reach out via DM on instagram or sign up via my site. If you want to become a SOC analyst, I would recommend you check out my SOC Analyst Roadmap video👍
Its about 10 hours worth of video theory not including labs & projects. All in all I cant say exactly how long it would take. As for cost, I have been telling folks to save atleast $500. I will provide more details soon!
Stop making videos and work on your course hahahaha 😂😂😂😅😅 So we can buy start working on it hahah. of course I'm joking your videos are priceless Thank you!! 🙏🙏🤘🤘👍
