True story

[@MyDFIR]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@marlinshanklin-ww7em]

@MyDFIR You are the soc analyst Czar God bless you.

[@Swank2387]

I just graduated with my Associates in Computer Science. If I had known that it was not wholly needed, I wouldn't have gone back to school for it. It's nice to have and a good thing to show my kids that you can do whatever you want as long as you set your mind to it. I will not be going back for a bachelor's like I had planned, however. I believe it's a better financial decision.

[@Anonymous-xq3cd]

If you are planning to attend a bootcamp, have the mindset of "the more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in the arena". Study and practice everyday. Learn and do as much as you can while in the program. Because once the bootcamp ends, thats when the real battle starts. Your initial battle will be against the interviewers and interview questions but the ones youll be facing constantly is the job itself and your coworkers. If you got the job and you lack the knowledge and skills, not only will you struggle in the job but you will also be bullied by your coworkers. Yes, there are many smart people in the Cybersecurity industry that are bullies that will prey on the weak. The bullying will be subtle, indirect, and discreet. When the one bullying you is the 600 pound gorilla in the SOC, he cannot get fired and no one will say anything against him. You have been warned. So study hard, train hard, its for you. Dont be an absentee or passive participant in the cybersecurity bootcamp.

[@aliibrahim5479]

I hope you see this , I’m looking for advise on how to improve my understanding of alerts , I work for an mssp so we use wide range of tools like rapid7 , splunk , Cynet etc , I often find myself overwhelmed by the different types of alerts coming from those tools and want to improve on my understanding, or if you could do some video on common types of network related alerts and endpoint alerts would really be helpful!

[@MyDFIR]

Alerts are definitely an interesting topic. I can’t really say “common” alerts as each org is different but my advice is to think about the triage phase and how you can triage better to help tackle that. To triage better you must understand what data sources you have and are available to you. If you notice similar alerts coming in with the same outcome, perhaps that is a tuning opportunity!

Hi, can you please upload a video about entry level/junior soc analyst interview questions, i watched your previous video and it was really good, i have my interview in a couple of days

[@MyDFIR]

Hey! I am assuming you watched the interview video? If not, that should help you as it comes with a guide as well 👍

[@DianeT-je7vz]

Did you get the job finally? I just want to know, may be you can help me too.😊

[@aref568]

@@DianeT-je7vz no unfortunately 😐 lots of his interview questions was asked during the interview though, i just messed up 2 questions

[@munashemhl3823]

I took the Google I.T specialist and cyber security analyst certificates. I am not sure which path to take, but whichever can help me get my foot in there the quickest. Please advise me if possible

[@MyDFIR]

The unfortunate reality is that there is no “fast” but I would say IT first and then transition into cybersecurity. Folks who go this route tend to ease into it a lot “easier”

[@Sirwhty]

Thank you for your great Job. Love it. I do have a question regarding your SOC Roadmap. Instead of the Google Professional Cybersecurity cert, can one study for the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate?

[@MyDFIR]

Great question, yup you can. Do note that after completing Googles program you’ll get a voucher for Sec+ but if you don’t care about that then by all means, Microsoft is fine 👍

[@maraenterprises6391]

Very informative Video.

[@finaltouchstudio_]

I have a MacBook. What tools and practices can I use that’ll be safe for my computer?

[@MyDFIR]

ARM mac? Or Intel Mac? Regardless, you can think of using online labs to upskill and learn new tools. If Intel Mac, try spinning up your own home lab! If ARM Mac, use the cloud and practice there.

[@t.browne290]

Peace Steven. I love your channel because it makes this simple, not easy. My question is can I work for a SOC company in Canada even though I’m in the US with no Canadian residency? Also what is your thoughts on Cisco Jr Cybersecurity Analyst career path?

[@MyDFIR]

Honestly I wouldn’t count on it, is it possible? Sure but it would be quite difficult and tack on the current job market makes it near impossible IMO. Any reason why you would want to try your land a job in Canada? Don’t have to share if not comfortable! Just curious as the US definitely has more opportunities. As for Cisco, it seems to be alright, good for starters and likely theory based which means you’ll need to think about hands on experience afterwards.

[@silverwraith-r7o]

[@NiteFPS]

Do you recommend me, an undergraduate in my junior year, a student under a Bachelor's Degree in cybersecurity to apply as early as now? or should I set it aside and finish my degree first?

[@aminekhatib6913]

The same question

[@hungry_khid1007]

Get internships now! Dont wait till final year.

[@MyDFIR]

I would recommend you set aside for now while thinking about working on your hands on skills. I’d rather you put more effort into learning at this stage.

[@chideragodwin1515]

Hi, thank you for your video. I was wondering. Can one get into Cloud security analyst role as an entry level personnel? Or do I have to pass through cyber security SOC role first? The road map I currently envisage is networking - Google cyber- Microsoft cybersecurity analyst- Microsoft SOC course - Az 500 course. Does this roadmap look sufficient? Thanks

[@MyDFIR]

Pretty solid roadmap - Personally, I do believe it is possible and even more likely if you start from IT then move onto cloud security.
