Gain SOC Experience with LetsDefend

[@wolfleader2]

Tbh as a newbie thats been studying for a bit, letsdefend is the best hands down for studying soc stuff, its quite literally built for socs 😅 worth the money

[@NeoKurow]

Its expensive

[@papisosa010]

@@NeoKurow Is there an alternative you would recommend?

[@NeoKurow]

@@papisosa010 Sadly no... you can learn from books or KZbin videos but nothing more

[@wolfleader2]

@@NeoKurow yes but im a student so that helps quite a lot, its also really good for teaching you how to do forensic type ctfs which i love to do as well haha

[@MyDFIR]

Definitely worth the money if you apply the discount!

[@apilgrim8715]

I subscribed to LetsDefend because of your video. Thank you.

[@MyDFIR]

Awesome! I am confident you’ll learn a lot. Time to FOCUS and put in the work 🙌

[@govtnam]

How would you best recommended documenting these challenges and exercises to put on your resume?

[@MyDFIR]

I would put them into a blog and put the skills learned onto the resume.

[@ToukeeVang]

Awesome!! Student discount + your promo = $81, what a deal! With the regular Black Friday it actually bit more plus not sure it will keep discount for renewal date. Hopefully like you said in your video it will continue as long as I don’t cancel with your promo. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@MyDFIR]

That is an amazing deal! Take advantage of it!

[@mosh-cyber]

I completed the SOC analyst cert from LetsDefend in June, wanna get that yearly sub, but have to focus on the degree for now unfortunately

[@TayyabKhan-tb5ei]

Please make a complete absolute beginner course on youtube ❤❤.

[@MyDFIR]

Maybe! 👀👀

[@MISTYEYED.]

Thank you.

[@mapletech_22]

Thank you Steven. Awesome 👌

[@MyDFIR]

Glad you liked it!

[@joanebaptiste-cummins3207]

Will a complete newbie know what they are looking at when they get on the platform? How does one ask questions, while going through the material?

[@MyDFIR]

Thats a great question. The good news is that the platform structures it for newbies, the bad news is that because it is mainly text, it will be a bit dry for some depending on their learning style. As for questions, you can ask their community.

[@Da-el8nc]

thank you so much steven!

[@MyDFIR]

My pleasure!

[@poliux]

Thanks for share ❤

[@MyDFIR]

My pleasure 😊

[@alwarithalkhusaibi7902]

What courses do you recommend in this platform for intermediate and advanced learning?

[@ptahrightknowledge3813]

hi steven do you have any black friday deal on our Cyeber Course for people who lives in the Third world??

[@packmanbp]

Now I've a question though I don't know if you have information on this use case : if one purchases a VIP subscription and then later on wants to upgrade to VIP+, does the discount still apply or is it considered a "cancel and re-subscribe" ?

[@MyDFIR]

Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for that, I would email them to make sure. That is a great question!

[@packmanbp]

I was asking mostly out of curiosity really, since they have paths for a DFIR job and other interesting careers under the VIP+ sub I'm thinking about next year training x)

[@oriowoatinuke5652]

Great! How much is the deeper learning

[@MyDFIR]

Its nice as it is all structured! Free courses are out there but a lot of them tend to be all over the place.

[@shanksshanks6819]

Does this mean the paths do not include practical hands on labs? I would be interested in the SIEM Engineer path

[@MyDFIR]

Some paths do include hands on labs. You’ll have to look around to find them 💪

[@shanksshanks6819]

@ thx. What would you recommend for me. I already have BTL1 and PJPT. From TCM. What is the best path to take

[@Thiccolo]

Hopefully you get a kickback for using your code

[@zoltron30]

I'm coming from a NOC/CCNA/ISP back ground. Would I have to learn Linux first?

[@MyDFIR]

Not necessarily, but it wouldn’t hurt to know the basics!

[@terrellmoten5235]

I just purchase VIP on lets defend

[@MyDFIR]

Nice!

[@terrellmoten5235]

@@MyDFIR I would like a consultation with you .

[@carsonjamesiv2512]

GOOD

[@ThenewguyBTC]

Are these types of platforms valued by employers?

[@r3tr0n17]

Most probably not, It's for self hands-on experience

[@OrioMaldo]

Employers likely wouldn't care about where you learned it, as long as you can do it

[@tukaram4606]

yes they are

[@MyDFIR]

Bingo! The platform doesn’t matter. We care about your skill!

[@somadinaamadi1672]

I just letsdefend VIP with your code ❤

[@MyDFIR]

Awesome! Happy learning 💙
