COMMENT OF THE YEAR! I'm so happy to hear this and so appreciative you shared.

Can you tell me the interview questions/ list of concepts you prepared for the interview ?

Congratulations. What was your experience prior to the cyber job?

Good luck! I have a SOC Analyst interview next week, and I'm very nervous for it.

How did it go?

@@johnpiernicky8674 how did it go

Did you get the job?

@@zallow8794 it definitely is. to all: i did get the job. funny thing is, because it was actually intended to be an entry level job, they didnt ask me any technical questions, just why i picked the certs i had at the time and was like, OK, we will show you what we want you to do. they took a chance on me and (not to brag) but i've been blowing them away since like day 3 (when i first started working client monitoring...with supervision). now, im the best threat hunter on the defense team (the offense team does some defense stuff daily as well, but of the pure defense team, i'm the best). my director even defers to me on some threats that he gets stumped on (or when some of the newer guys get stumped and ask him, he defers to me to do hunt it down). and yet...still have imposter syndrome like i dont belong. that last bit was not to brag, but an anecdote of what could happen if a company posts a real job posting, and doesnt require the moon for an entry-level job, and takes a chance on someone willing to learn.

Best wishes on that SOC interview. You got this! Would love an update after to hear how it went. Feel free to join on the discord too, great community in there talking cybers. discord.gg/8PN5qP8QjR

@@SimplyCyber just signed up

@@OshunBabyKhalimaCrazy cool. Be sure to ping me; not sure your username. But welcome to the party. :)

Did you get the job?

@@viktosmarine1674 actually yes i did but i turned it down for a control assessor lol your bomb

Did they ask you multiple questions from the video? Also was it an entry level

@@brandon137 two of the questions I didn't have the answer to and actually got asked when I went in for my first position. And it was entry level yeah.

Fantastic news. Thanks for sharing and happy to hear this vid can help. Best wishes on the interview. If you are comfortable with it, would love to know how it goes and the outcome.

Did u get the job???

How did it go

Great idea with DVWA. Might have to do a video on that just to solidify it w myself too. Best wishes on the interview, crush it!

Nice to hear that. What's DVWA?

@@francisfrancis1153 Damn Vulnerable Web App - it's an intentionally-vulnerable web app deployment that you can install on a VM, and use to illustrate/practice on various OWASP vulnerabilities. dvwa.co.uk/

@@micahbabinski Thanks for clarifying.

If you are nerding out chances are your showing a lot of passion for the topic. Always a good sign

Hope a follow up post about you crushing this interview appears here ☺️

Let’s go!

do you know what space in cyber you are interested in working?

@@SimplyCyber I have a path in mind, right now CS architect seems to be the direction I’m leaning. I say this with near certainty that the plan will change once I start moving into different roles.

@@ev4sec im an architect now. Understanding cybersecurity programs (like NIST CSF) and understanding infrastructure are huge.

@@SimplyCyber thank you, that’s great to know. I happened to save the CISOlife NIST playlist you mentioned in another video so I’ll definitely check it out.

@@SimplyCyber right now I’m focused on defeating the 3 year “entry level” experience gap!

Good idea. I'll add it to the episodes queue. Thanks Louie.

Best wishes with the interview. Crush It!

Did you get the job?

Wet specific questions and appreciate you sharing. If ok w you I might create a part 2 that includes these and a few others I’ve heard. ☺️

@Gerald Auger, PhD - Simply Cyber ah that'd be fantastic 😊

Yes! Positive attitude; open mind; good Vibes! Best wishes Justin, crush it! Let me know how it goes.

@@SimplyCyber so I complete crushed the interview with the hiring manager! I’m moving on to the next step. I did want to ask you if you experienced a hiring process like mine. 1) pass the interview with the recruiter 2) pass the interview with the hiring manager 3) in a three hour block I have an interview with the rest of the team where the three of them will ask me more technical questions. Followed by and interview with one of the security engineers followed by an interview with the CISO and then one last interview with the hiring manager..... I personally love a challenge and am looking forward to this but I have never heard or gone through such a process. Again I love it but was curious to know if that is a common thing in the cyber world. Thanks in advance!

@@Jotin8664 First of all . YES!!! This is great and I'm so happy for you (thanks for sharing with our community). As far as the battery of interviews, that sounds like a bit overkill with 6 phases of interviews. Sometimes its because folks schedules dont line up and you have to split it, but yikes. Check out the most recent vid i just published about 'SOC Life' with Brandon poole. He gives some questions you can ask in the interview to get a good idea of how they run their SOC. Stay the course, execute consistently, be yourself. Enthusiasm, attitude, proactivity, personal drive are all things that I look for that are discovered in the interview, not the resume. Best wishes Justin!

@@SimplyCyber hey, so here’s the final update for everyone. I GOT THE JOB!!! Officially a Security Operations Analyst! This video and the video with Brandon Poole really helped me. The video with Brandon is a video I will refer to over and over again as I progress from Tier 1 to 4. Thank you again for this great content!!!

@@Jotin8664 yes! 🙌 congratulations Justin. Keep crushing it! Such great news!

Thanks. Working on a mock soc interview livestream.

Thanks Ryan. Love the energy.

how it go?

@@Alex-xi8ep I got the job! Now we're just getting all the HR paperwork done.

@@btlott1122 that is so good to hear. Did a lot of questions from this video come up?

Some of the questions for sure. I got the job so thank you again!

Thanks Kelley. I'll keep cranking them out. Thanks for the feedback.

Syed thanks! I will keep going. I purposefully didn’t look at future questions on the list in case people wanted more. Thank you for the feedback. Hope you got something useful out of the video

@@SimplyCyber I really did, and you're doing an amazing job. Thanks for what you do!

You got it RuledSpiral!

Thanks Daniel. Best wishes on the interviews.

Thank you! Its a labor of love and happy you found it valuable.

Crush it!

Thanks and best wishes on the interview. You got this!

Check out the morning livestreams at SimplyCyber.io/streams

Lol. Savage. You are the expert and there is no doubt ur 💯 right. 😊

Wonderful news! So happy for you🎉

Thank you for supporting the channel and your feedback.

Thanks Paul. Its on the roadmap. :)

Wish i saw this as soon as you posted it. Hope you crushed it, your bg sets you up perfectly and prepping is showing your serious about this. Hope your reply to this comment is 'nailed it' . Best wishes.

@@SimplyCyber Unfortunately they moved on to other candidates who actually had experience under their belt. Which entry level Cyber security role should I be looking at? This is the third opportunity that a failed to score.

@@kidstarr100 soc analyst can be entry level. I’d suggest getting practical exp w “RangeForce “ and or “blue team labs online” and or “ cyber defenders”. These three platforms will give you time in the saddle of using soc tech and workflows. Experience it and add to resume.

@@SimplyCyber thank you for the tip. I’ll keep grinding and hopefully land a job soon

@@kidstarr100 how's it going so far my naija bros? I'm new to the field and have interview this week

Go you! Go you! So pumped for the news! Best wishes and crush it. You got this, you know the role, show them how great you can be. Let me know if you don’t mind. Would love to celebrate with you!

@@SimplyCyber I just completed the interview, I had today. I should say that it was quite anxious as a process. There were many technical questions including networking,bashing,security, but overall I think I did good enough and I will wait for the next process of interviews.

@@emmanouilkoutsoulaftis6782 Great to hear. Interviews can be nerve-wracking and most interviewers know that. Hope you aced it, and that you showed them your personality and interest in Cyber. Best wishes!

You can do it! Crush it. Best wishes Flow Spice. I hope this vid helps. Calm, confident, honest are the best bet. Sending you good vibes.

@@SimplyCyber I did end up getting the job! Lots of reading, I'm loving it. Thanks for your help!

@@flowspice9371 AWESOME! Well done! So happy for you.

Can you tell me the interview questions/ list of concepts you prepared for the interview ?

What questions were you asked? Congrats

I had my technical interview today, and at the end of the interview they said I did pretty good throughout the entire thing, so would you take that as a good sign?

@@crypticdan hey did you get the job? Also how many questions from the video would you say showed up on the interview

@Brandon yes I got the job, and mist of the questions helped build my confidence.

Any updates on a job landed?

@@IdentityIAm111 unfortunately no luck yet, but still working at it!

Id go Net+ there. CCNA is certified on using Cisco gear, and requires you to understand foundational networking, where Net+ teaches and certifies you know foundational networking (which i believe is a required skill to work in Cyber). If you want to work in networking than def go CCNA though (assuming where you work is a "Cisco-shop". Check out these two FREE learning paths from AttackIQ academy. One on MITRE ATT&CK and the other on purple teaming. Seems like its in your wheel house. academy.attackiq.com/pages/learning-paths Best wishes.

@@SimplyCyber CRAZIEST thing happened, and boy do I mean crazy.. I just landed an entry level PEN-TESTER position off a 2 month old forum job post, even tho it was old I still reached out and they apparently loved my energy, hunger, and drive so much they brought me onboard!! So now I'll be learning Networking on the job.. Along along with Security.. so for the time being, no more certs!! Woot, woot, I start MONDAY.. can't wait!!! oNe

@@phabeondominguez5971 fantastic news. Congrats! Those soft skills can’t be taught. Way to drive hard and show your passion for the industry and job. Great win!

Thanks Guilherme. Happy the channel is helping you a lot! Thats the mission.

Thanks Ali. Trying to to keep it that way. 😃

:) Hope you are well Ron.

Thank you so much!

I know it’s 3 months late but did you get the job? Also were u asked a lot of questions from the video?

Great analogy

You are welcome

Thank you. 😃

thank you!

Todays biggest cybersecurity risk really depends on what dimension you are talking about. Different industry's have different biggest risks. A catch all would be ransomware right now, but after solarwinds hack, supply chain is becoming more mainstream. As boring as it sounds, end user awareness training really is one of the best controls an org can use to reduce risk.

@@SimplyCyber Thanks very much 👍..You the Man!!!

Do practical labs. Easiest way short of on job experience

@@SimplyCyber Can you enlighten me more on what you mean by a practical lab. I am very new in this career.

My pleasure Ahmed!

Heath is cool. Reached out a few times but I think hes super busy. :) Thanks for dropping a comment and checking out the content.

@@SimplyCyber thanks for getting back. That's cool you reached out since he is going to be pursuing the same degree you have from Dakota State. If you guys are ever able to get together that would be an awesome colab. Thanks for the great content!

@@hobgoblin4614 I knew he was looking into it, i didnt realize he applied/accepted. Definitely have to congratulate him when I talk to him. Thats great news. Thanks for sharing.

Basic answer is ping doesn’t get far enough up the osi stack to need a port (ie transport layer). As far as I know it’s a network layer protocol. Icmp request out hoping for an icmp reply back

Do I mention it in the video? It’s been a minute

You say, I haven't seen these questions before but I'm going to provide answers live in real time. Reminds me of daily briefs. Now, I'm going to go check out The One Cool Thing that you mentioned at the end of the video . Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t script my shows due to time constraints. Actively working on be more succinct

@@SimplyCyber I understand. Thets the life of a cyber security analyst huh.

Thanks Sarah. I appreciate the constructive feedback. Given the time I have to commit this is the best I can do. Hopefully it wasn’t too distracting from being useful for you.

You're welcome!

There are several opportunities to get experience without the job in this field. Look for the playlist “how to break into cybersecurity w no experience” on my channel. Could help.

Look in the show description. you should be able to hit a drop down or show more button that will show the entire description that includes the time stamps.

NOICE! best wishes.

@@SimplyCyber thank you doc! it's at 12 est tomorrow. ive been training for a pentester role but i went for analyst just to get my foot in the door so i feel well prepared. thanks in part to creators like yourself. keep it up! you may not have millions of viewers but youre making the bigger difference!

@@unholy7324 did you get the job? Also how many questions from the interview showed up? I’m currently taking a cybersecurity course to get certified and I’m preparing myself early before I start taking interviews in a few months

@@brandon137 no I didn't. And I'll have to watch this video again to tell you. Anxiety got me. I remember they asked me a bunch of red and blue team stuff for an analyst I position. I however got promoted at my current role in the company and there's a internship coming next year I'm going to try for.

@@unholy7324 oh alright thanks for your response. Wishing you all the best

Thank you!

Loved that show. All star cast. Hopefully Bilson is a compliment. Glad you liked the video

I don’t script most of my vids. This was very much stream of thought. Hope it brought some value despite
