BEST Beginner SOC Analyst Roadmap | How to become an SOC Analyst with NO Experience

[@BrownMoca]

Thank you for this video and information. I've made a career change later in life after working in the sports media industry for over 20 years. I'm also a Veteran and was able to complete a CUSS program via a VRAP program. I've obtained ITIL 4, CompTia A+, and most recently SEC+ 701 certifications. I worked for an ISP for over a year and decided to move on to Cyber Security. I was having a hard time deciding which path to take but have decided to go with SOC Analyst. I just used your code with LetsDefend and saved 55% so thanks for that also. Keep doing what you do because your advice and knowledge help tremendously!

4 months of applying and I have my first SOC analyst/engineer interview on Thursday!

I'm wondering if I take the SOC, will I end up a KZbinr someday.

[@NicoDa1]

Lmao, seem like that's all of their goal.

[@Derpinurface]

Are the labs in the learning path recognized as experience?

[@Aries_Alpha]

Home labs using relevant tools can be seen as practical experience. People seem to advise to have a github link to your physical projects.

[@Derpinurface]

@Aries_Alpha even tho most of labs in this are through browser?

[@Aries_Alpha]

@@Derpinurface I haven’t used any browser based simulations personally buy I know they do exist. All my labs are set up inside virtual machines at home so I can’t speak for any other type of practise. For example I use vms as clients via virtual box and then I use Elastic as my SIEM. I attack the SIEM via the vms with Nmap for example and then use the SEIM (elastic) to detect, document, implement rules, push alerts to certain locations and create dashboards that show the attacks in graphs and charts. Then I add that practical experience to my CV and my GitHub.

[@fmrshortstm7025]

​@@Derpinurface you can document the learnings i guess

[@akinretoyejustin]

Do you think the Comptia is still worth taking?

[@MistuhParker]

I just purchased the annual membership to lets defend thank you Sarah

[@brianbergen429]

Just used your code and got the VIP+ for $81.00. About to start watching and learning.

[@krodriguez6642]

Question how was you able to stack the discount codes it’s not, it’s only letting me use one

[@brianbergen429]

@ I used my .edu email address to register then added her code.

Hey Sandra !! do you do mentorship ?? HELP !!

[@monsolympus7823]

Do Google Cybersecurity certificate. Then Google IT support certificate. Then Let's Defend

[@monsolympus7823]

Do that networking module in the IT cert like 5 times

[@yabudimsure]

I was about to purchase but it doesn't look like you're able to stack the coupons, it looks like you could only use 1 at a time or am I wrong. Did anybody else manage to use both ?

[@TechwithLuca]

Super useful! Thank you Sandra :D

[@Cat-l5w]

After my A levels which university should I apply to go in cybersecuritu

[@therealjoelinton3746]

Edinburgh Napier is good, or Sunderland those are the main cyber courses, most unis don’t do cyber until masters

[@Roo23th]

I'll have technical interview tomorrow. I applied for T1 SIEM SOC role. what type of technical questions may I come across? Anyone?

[@달영혼]

How did it go?

[@edwinchung8152]

just wondering should i start soc as a beginner with no experience and no certifications or should i get certifications first?

[@nono-2-s9b]

Hi @WithSandra, can you please do a video on how to add the experience you get from this roadmap to your resume/LinkedIn profile?

[@richardalexander1330]

I have a question. I want to follow the SoC path on LetsDefend, and I would like to take the annual plan that charges $15 for VIP+. Obviously, it won't take me a year to finish the path, so I want to know if I can cancel the annual plan or if I can't until I finish the whole year?

[@cycalo1707]

You would pay for the full year on one payment for annual option. It just explains if you were to split the annual payment into months then it would be 15$

[@infini.tesimo]

I wonder if they'll make a program for red teams?

[@shammahcharles4941]

{Try hack me} has a really good one for red team

Set the playback speed to 0.75 and she will sound normal. Also, Cybersecurity is not entry level. Knowing what a firewall is and configuring Fortinet/Check Point/Palo Alto/Cisco etc is not the same thing. Same with SIEM, SOAR, GRC, Risk Management/Assesment, Splunk/SQL/KQL/Python/Powershell. Create a portfolio and work your way up, magic pills don't exist.

[@batman-sr2px]

so in cybersecurity is it projects your portfolio? what type of projects?

[@Michael_ATL_82]

LIU🔥🔥🔥

[@Chuck4581]

There is nothing entry level to soc you need experience

[@batman-sr2px]

what type of experience?

[@tribalblaze65]

“Experience” is overrated. I’m working a systems analyst job and it’s not hard at all, it’s not going to get my the cyber job. Cyber skills are the key, Just get net+ and have good customer service skills, have decent troubleshooting skills.

[@batman-sr2px]

@@tribalblaze65 so what did you have and how long it took you to get that system analyst job?

[@alsa253]

this is just advertising video of course.. nothing interesting

[@Wesjapa100]

Well, she's not the only one. It seems Let's Defend is paying many of the Cyber KZbinrs to do that.

[@tunnelvisionxxl]

@@Wesjapa100 this chick, Josh Madakor and UnixGuy all know each and promote each others products with the same sense of urgency and at the same 10x pace. Why the hell is she talking so fast?
