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.

Sir wow I was previously working for sneeds feed and seed but when the old owner chuck sold the company, I lost my job. I was looking into pentesting roles but in my first interview they were asking if I knew "Kelly Linicks", so that is true, Networking with others will especially help in the future in case I get asked about her again. I never knew that analyzing socks would help me get my first gig but it makes sense now. Its all about doing whatever you can to get your opportunity handed to you., also it is great to know that I am not the only one trying to get an entry level role with no knowledge or experience. I think I might also make a youtube just like you tomorrow and start making cybersecurity "Content" thank you Sir.

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.
@MyDFIR
@MyDFIR Жыл бұрын
All good, you found me now! haha - I would switch the mindset from beginner friendly to most bang for your buck to learn the skills required and the answer to that is the free resources BUT you will be required to perform a bunch of research on your end which will take time and if you can afford time, all the power to you! If not, then take either CDSA or CCD whichever is cheaper. BTL1 is enough to be slightly above a junior analyst but expensive compared to CDSA. If you want a more guided approach, you could look into enrolling into the CDSA modules and skip out on the cert itself. The modules should provide you those skills required. Hope that helps!

@MyDFIR

@@Noc___ Great question! Since I am creating it, I'll put it above everything else haha - it will include similar content to CDSA & CCD with the addition of the cloud & SOAR so I would say slightly better than CDSA & might be on par with CCD but where I fall short is the in-browser experience. My course will not have that unfortunately, and instead will be a mix of using the cloud and hosting on the students machine. As a result, both CDSA & CCD are a better option for those that have limited resources on their machine and I will always recommend these two in that case. My course will also be all video so students will have a chance to follow along and those who enjoy how I present my SOC Automation Project series & SOC Mini-course will know what to expect. With that being said, nothing beats free so the free alternatives I list under my CDSA video will essentially help you get to 80%. If students cannot afford to enroll in paid training, I will highly encourage them to look at the free alternatives that I've listed. At the end of the day, it's all about the students learning experience so if I see that there is something missing, I will continue to add to the course & create videos here on YT to ensure they get the proper training & knowledge needed.

I agree with the @MyDFIR! Shifting your mindset from beginner-friendly to getting the most value for your investment is a great approach. Free resources are fantastic if you have the time to dive into self-research, but if you're looking for a more structured path, CCD is an excellent choice. CCD offers in-depth content with realistic, hands-on labs that closely mimic real-world scenarios. The high-quality video materials make the learning process engaging and effective. While CDSA is more budget-friendly, CCD's comprehensive content and practical skills make it worth the investment. Hope this helps, and best of luck on your learning journey!

Hey, great video! ~ thx🎉, so ive quite literally just begun my cybersec certification, learning & building journey here ive started by enrolling in self study Google Coursera cybersecurity pro course (for beginners with foundational knowledge). My questions are: 1)- For someone or those who are not enrolled in college but rather on the path of self studies how long approximately would it take to complete this road map? Are we talking about a year & a half perhaps? 2)- Are you able to approximate the total cost if someone did this entire roadmap? 3)- How realistic is it to gain a remote role at entry level if hypothetically someone has every cert in this roadmap then goes and applies for a job?

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.

I have worked in SOC for 3 years now. My business shut down the SOC to do only Consulting, Purple Team and Red Team. I currently have my A+, Net+, Sec+ and plan to get some Linux certs. I also have training in Crowdstrike, Carbon Black, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, Alien Vault, Securonix and we started to look into Palo Alto's SOAR program before they shut us down. I am having no luck with getting any call backs. I also have worked in IT for 10+ years as well, So it's not like I just jumped on the bandwagon and have no IT background. Should I look into some AWS and Asure certifications as well? I am getting frustrated.

Great question and I am sorry to hear that. Was this an in house SOC or MSSP? Please correct me if I am wrong but during your time in the SOC, I assume you weren’t solely doing alert triage but also building alerts, threat hunts, tuning & investigations? Reason I say this is because 3 years in the SOC is quite a long time and you can start to think about specializing. Cloud certifications won’t hurt and learning something new is always exciting. Do keep in mind that the job market is terrible right now and unfortunately something you cannot control. I know you have what it takes and are a smart individual. I hope that helps ❤️

Great question! The PDF is essentially the same as this video however, I have included links to everything I talk about within the PDF. It is also a different delivery method (reading vs watching) and some folks prefer the former. As for alternatives, not really when it comes to certifications but you can go for HTB and not take the certificate to save on some money and earn those skills. You can also go the free route via researching on Google.

Hey what do you think about Blue Team L1 instead ?
@MyDFIR
@MyDFIR 11 ай бұрын
Its alright - it is a bit pricer than CDSA. I personally would opt for CDSA as it does appear to have more “advanced” modules

LetsDefend comes closest when it comes to "soc alerts" but the other resources listed in this roadmap helps build up the skill.

you should go to school. the best way is to go for the bachelor's degree, and get several internships while in school. Do good on those internships and try to apply for a full time position

Isc2 CC? I would recommend taking google course afterwards. It will reinforce your knowledge and should provide you with additional information along with a security+ voucher afterwards.

What's your opinion on the Blue Team Level 1?
@MyDFIR
@MyDFIR Жыл бұрын
It provides decent knowledge and puts you slightly above a junior analyst IMO whereas CDSA & CCD appears to offer “advanced” topics. BTL1 costs more than CDSA as well.

Linux becomes more prevalent when you start to do engineering side of things. Most companies use Windows hence why there isn’t any mention of Linux. But of course, knowing Linux would be great.
