[@Sbshooters]

Starting the job hunt in my cybersecurity training program! Thanks for this video!

[@suburbanflower]

Hey Sandra thanks for the great content! I'm in a respected bootcamp but I feel like it's not teaching me enough in depth skills for me to become an analyst. Can you recommend some labs / projects that looks good on a resume when applying to entry level analyst roles?

[@Tyschnei]

I'm currently doing googles cyber sec course and I like it a lot. It's supposed to prep you for the comptia sec + cert

[@user-nd3vz8ib4g]

Hey Sandra, awesome breakdown on SOC Security Analyst. Thank you!

[@andrewnguyen-dt6sh]

Hi Sandra, I’m currently working as IT support. I passed my security plus last month. What basic skills should i learn to get a entry level security jobs out there without experience? What home labs do you recommend to do to have hand on experience?

[@alekmdjl2]

Look up “How to get cybersecurity experience with no job” there are some videos with labs in them.

[@ankitjain4377]

Hi I am also in IT Support planning for doing Security+ certification, did you get job?

[@abdullahniazi6320]

a little Grammer correction on the headline, use A instead of An. 🙂

[@rakeshcristobal8320]

In industry, most people refer to it as the "sock"

[@user-kh7tm5uz1p]

KZbinr just making money, if you want to get a job in cybersecurity you have to start from networking job or IT help desk None of certs are benefits, and please try to get bachelor degree if you don’t have , WGU is good idea to get piece of paper

[@TechwithLuca]

Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing :D

[@Wadson]

Why don't you just say SOCK? SOC analysts do NOT configure security tools. They review alerts and report. Security engineers configure.

[@angelcardona4027]

Could you make a video? How can someone get into the entre level of Threat Intelligence Analyst? Thanks Great video!

[@romanxxxx]

def going after the sec+ this summer, whats your fav resource sandra?

[@joshuahancock6896]

On LinkedIn, most jobs I have applied for, especially entry-level get lots of people applying. 6 months no job yet. =/

[@Tricky_0011]

What is the difference between soc vs cyber security analyst

[@ryansparzak8822]

they are the same thing. soc just means security operations center

[@jeanwilguensgedeon3236]

What was your first job in cybersecurity ?

[@Scarface1357]

Do I need to have a IT background to help aid me in having a career in Cybersecurity? I’m currently working as a special police officer and recently became very interested in the field.

[@chewbaccaflacka6111]

no but it would help a lot

[@braintest382]

Suggest me a fyp in my bachelor's degree in SOC analyst field?

[@ps5gurus508]

Hey Sandra!🙂

[@evanschlemmer8899]

Dubious, I work in InfoSec and have helped train SOCs from many different companies....nobody pronounces it S.O.C Analyst, just say it like the thing between your foot and shoe please 😂 Sorry it really irked me. But accurate intro into what an analyst's day to day is like, get ready to be a data junkie until you move up tiers and get to do the fun stuff.

[@tone396]

Hey idk if this is allowed but, are ppl seeing soc 1 positions in the Seattle area????

[@dacx17]

i have a degree in computer science and im getting my masters in cybersecurity, will that be enough for a SOC position?

[@WithSandra]

Having a Masters is already higher education than most cybersecurity professionals that I know so I'd say yes. I'd still get a cert like the Sec+ just to round out your resume and get through any HR screenings that require candidates to have a cert. This should be an easy win for you since it's likely material you've already covered in your MS degree! Either way, it sounds like you're in a great spot. Best of luck and keep us updated with your progress! :)

[@vitache1276]

Di you offer trainings

[@PrimePerspectivee]

Do I need a degree to become a cyber Analyst? I want to switch careers and have no experience at all in tech but want to dive in cybersecurity. Any feedback would help me

[@fromthemoonandmybed]

You need a bachelors in computer science or cyber security

[@Tyschnei]

You do NOT need a degree

[@tyrojames9937]

GOOD.😁

[@ivar2472]

as analysis soc I can live comfortably in Miami?

[@ivar2472]

About the salary

[@Speciallogic]

Yo, are them plants real?

[@romanxxxx]

Thought it was called a "Sock Analyst". never heard anyone else say each letter b4🤔

[@carlgonzalez5789]

These are some of the first jobs AI is coming for

[@Tyschnei]

Not true, AI cant be trusted with this. There are still plenty of tech jobs where AI cant be trusted.

[@jtan6349]

giiirrlll why are you talking so fast in all of your videos T____T

[@srujanatluri2986]

Please go little slow with your words

[@russelislam6135]

I wanted to watch your video. But you through your hands in the air so much that it is very disruptive. Please control your habd movements. 😅😅😅😅

[@jwyzebeatz]

That's a weird complaint I've never seen before loool...but anyways a lot of people talk with their hands, including myself...If that really bothers you though, all you have to do is just listen to her speak without watching her lol
