🏆 Challenge Yourself: Each lab project is a challenge waiting to be conquered. Push your limits and embrace the thrill of overcoming obstacles. The more you challenge yourself, the more you'll grow as a cybersecurity professional!

you're doing such a great work sir. i've been learning the basic stuff i need to know, did some basic courses on Cisco & then on fortinet. currently doing the google cybersecurity course. most of the certificate exams focus more on the theoretical aspects of infosec/cloud sec, so I've been worrying if I'll have enough experience before going into my postgraduate degree & eventually getting an internship. will check out all these 4 resources overtime. thanks a lot!

@AmanKhan-69 11 ай бұрын

what's funny is when i started on this path after deciding to switch careers, soc analyst was my dream job. not pen tester or ethical hacker like most people. i'm now also getting interested in forensics, but working with siem tools in a soc role starting out would be great

@MyDFIR 11 ай бұрын

Great job on learning the basics, definitely something you don’t want to skip out on. Complimenting your theory knowledge with hands on experience will help you become a better analyst and these resources are perfect for that. Once you try them out let me know how that goes!

Welcome! Thanks for subbing ❤️ I’ve created a similar video for Resumes however for these specific experiences and skills, I would list what you have learned and are comfortable talking to and using. For example, a lot of hands on training likes to use tools such as Splunk. Once you have enough experience with Splunk, you can put that under your skills section.

Thanks for this information! I found it very informative. About how long do you think it will take to learn what's needed to make the jump into cybersecurity (SOC analyst role)? I've started a blog in the past in an unrelated field and was not successful. I will check out your video on how to start a blog. Again, thank you!

@MyDFIR 2 ай бұрын

Realistically? About 2 years. You can learn whats needed within a year depending on how dedicated you are BUT likely there will be a lot of “memorization” thus, it would take some more time to put theory into practice hence why I say about 2 years.

Hi MyDFIR, I just signed up via your website. Been working as a SOC analyst for about a year now, still have lots to learn and am happy where I am at the moment. I understand I need to do my due-diligence as I'm taking a more progressive approach to my sec career rather than trying to skip steps. One thing thats been on my mind is how do you know when to start specializing. How did you figure this one out?

@MyDFIR 8 ай бұрын

Hey! That is a great question. As cliche as it sounds, you start specializing when you find exactly what you enjoy the most. For me, it was year 2 into my career as a SOC analyst. I knew I enjoyed investigating INCIDENTS and that was it. I searched what are some of the specializations that focused on INCIDENTS and landed on DFIR.
