I love how UA-camr's make things sound sooooo easy to do.
That's because they look up the bare minimum of information in order to make a video. In all reality 99% of these types of youtubers don't understand the first thing about what they are talking about. They find the keywords and just use those to string coherent sentences together and call it a "roadmap". For instance, they all pretty much mention "Splunk" but actual SOCs never mention this tool it's just they are one of the first results on google.
@@crysiscontained4421 Lol that aged well
2:52 Is absolutely correct “It does get your door in the the foot.” It can be painful 😁. Keep up the good work!!!
bahahhahaha yeah
@@nicoleenesse Is it like a Service Desk where you have to talk to lots of angry end users?
@@anupprasai5238 No, but can be fatiguing to all of the alerts
I just started my first IT job a month ago. I was a geologist previously and changed careers. The company that hired me is great that they gave me the job b/c I took a boot camp (paid for by Veterans Affairs) but I still don’t even have my A+ yet. It’ s a help desk technician job. I’m going to work to get my A+, Net+ and Sec+ over the next few months. Then going to keep honing my skills in this job while maybe doing a Google IT cert and then hopefully move into cybersecurity.
Best of luck man.
Thanks for sharing
Which boot camp did you take. I’m trying to change careers as wrll
@@Welldonearah I went through ACI Learning. but it was just watching power points the whole time. I honestly was unimpressed with the quality of instruction there.
@@fckickboxer damn I start classes with them next Monday .
Yayyy🎉❤️
New upload. Thanks for the information and research you put behind your videos.
Aye! Thanks AA
Hello. New to the channel. The door in the foot did make me chuckle. Recently moving to a Cyber role so look forward to binging your content. Good content so far.
Very useful, thanks Nicole
Thanks for the informative videos and helping me stay motivated to learn!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. Very informative. This is where I deserve to be right now.
You are so welcome
Ur information has enhanced my knowledge....lots of love from India ❤❤
Wealth of information! thank you!
Your video really useful thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot Nicole am a medical doctor from Uganda my passion is being a purple team however I wanted to start with SOC analyst job and upgrade from there. Am following your videos Currently am under Alx software engineering bootcamp, python for everybody on coursera and networking by simplilern.
Thanks for guidance 🙏 I following your videos.
Man, you're all over the place. All the basic skills required before starting to learn about cyber security is free on UA-cam. That's it!
Don't waste your time on unduly stuffs.
I wanna get my door in the foot! Great video... love nightshift btw
The links in the videos, to the resume template no longer works, could you please help with that
This is great info!
Glad you think so!
Thanks so much for this helpful video! If I'm a veteran getting a Master's in cybersecurity, is there an avenue in this field that pays decent (80 with room to promote) without working terrible hours (45+, weekends, nights)?
Thanks for the info. Im in school for cyber security and love learning about it but it doesn’t it’s something I want to do everyday.
I understand that
Im six months in the Junior SOC role..was overwhelming at first but i think am kinda getting the hang of it at the moment...
planning to transition in the future though
That is awesome. Congrats on the role. Make sure to take good notes!!
What’s your background? How’d you land the role?
Thanks Nicole 👩💻
Your welcome Friday
hi, nice video, i just subbed to your channel. I have a question.. I had been doing bug bounty for about 5 years, but since bug bounty is just too over crowded I stopped and 90 days ago, I started taking the OSCP, made my linkeind profile and so on... the reason I got to your channel is because I would like to know what kind of jobs can I get with the oscp and my years of bug bounty. I now pentester is one, but I don't want to think this is the only thing I can do with it. can you please make a video on this? even more since I many many people taking the oscp
Can you make a video what are the options career after soc analyst? Like incident responder or threat intel analyst etc, what’s the best route…
Love to learn from you❤💯
Happy to hear that!
Hy nicole
thank you so much for this very helpfull video and is it ok to go with IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Certification course?
Hello Nicole,
Very informative video.. Thanks for sharing!
Could you please enlighten me on the difference between wireshark analysis vs. SOC analysis?
Thank-You!
where can i go to learn how to fit a door in my foot?
I'm thinking of going this route for a career. I have been told that since I have felonies on my record it's a waste of time. What's your opinion?
Is it possible to get a remote SOC level 1 job and work from Europe? Or do most companies want you to be inside the USA? (I’m American just living abroad).
Thank you for putting this overview together. With all the demand for good security people these days, this can be very helpful for someone trying to get into the field. Just out of curiosity though....how would you "go through false negatives"? (at 11:22) They are the ones that slip through the cracks and don't create alerts.
Unfortunately, you don't even know false negatives are there. You'd have to have good networking skills to even find the issue.
@@mrcheeks7335 Exactly my point. How does she "sort through" things that (by definition) don't create alerts in the first place!?😅 there's nothing to go through. I was just curious how she'd approach that.
Theres a US company called Novacoast that has opened an office near my home here in England. I have an interview for SOC Analyst 🤞
Good luck. I hope you get the job.
Congrats! Make sure to know how to read a PCAP
@@nicoleenesse I am googling it now. Any suggestions where to go online?
@@Theinsomniac826 Thanks Friday

Hi Nicole I am a random corporate security officer.. tomorrow I have an interview for SOC.. Do you think I can do this job good? English is my second language (very good leval but not fluent) .. You have to work with one room with other security officers on computer.. Am I right? More less?
Hi Nicole! I was considering getting an associates degree in cybersecurity, do you think that would make it easier for me to get a job? I do have my bachelors in business management but after researching cybersecurity masters programs they want someone who has a technical background..
An associates wouldn't hurt and are pretty affordable. There are a lot of options available though. You could also take on a help desk role, you could train yourself for the SOC with black hill information security training .
what comes AFTER soc analyst?
Hey Nicole, I’m currently a Information technology management major at WGU. I wanted to know if I will be as marketable with the degree in ITM considering it’s has business involved ?!
Yes, I could even make an argument that it is more marketable because it has business involved. Great skill to have in ANY field
In your opinion would you go the SOC analyst, pentester, or cloud security route if you were changing careers, and getting into the IT field?
SOC analyst as it's the easiest to get into
@@nicoleenesse Could I go from SOC into Cloud?
The template link isn’t working
Awesome video ✅
Thanks Arnold
Love your videos dear 😻😻
Thank you so much!!
Good explanation
For the companies that need clearance do you have any advice since I’m in dc and want to work somewhere here
Yes, you will n eed a company to sponsor you. Usually that means less pay in the beginning, but could hop after your get your clearance
I only came to the comment section for the Door in the foot part. I have been in Security for some time yet my door has not gotten in the foot. Si I will subscribe to this channel for them to help me get started.
Is the high turnover due mostly to people moving on to other higher paying jobs with more responsibility? It's treated as your ground level grunt work position that everybody has to pay their dues on and then move on? I can see where the tedium comes in but it seems valuable for the broad range of knowledge gained. Thoughts?
Yeah, I would say you hit that spot on. You can see it like helpdesk for security
Hi Nicole, I am a working adult that is also working on a degree from ASU in business information security. I was wondering if I could get your take on the program that I am in. 😊 thanks,
ASU is pretty well known. I would do projects on your own while going through the program to help prepare for a SOC analyst job
Ok this is good to know, that a Soc Analyst 3 may do Pentesting.
Very informative 💞💞💞💞🙆❤️
Thanks Mr. Richie
Could you explain which certificates we should go for after getting a job as an L1 soc analyst
Security + and the CISSP certificates.
@@NK-iw6rq how about CySA+?
@@oceanblue1017 That is a great certificate to get , but not needed for a entry level L1 analyst role. Sometimes working on too many things at the beginning can get overwhelming. I'd focus on the two I listed earlier first. However , after landing your first role in the industry and as you progress in your career and look for promotion opportunities the CySa+ is definitely something you will want to get. Doesn't hurt to add Network + and A+ too. Those will be easy for you once you have the other certs. Also depending on your areas of interest , I highly recommend getting cloud certifications for AWS and Microsoft Azure. I am seeing so many organizations desperate for cloud security professionals. The pandemic has accelerated organizational adoption of cloud technology and so many roles are opening up there.
I think Sec+, GSEC, and GCIH are great
Will you make a short video about the basic networks or telecommunication engineering ?
It is on my list!
Nicole is it possible to get a job with Google it support certificate . If possible how can I do it because I want to get any job in IT where I can work even if a remote one.
I leave in a country where IT is just developing and my goal is to have a cybersecurity consultation firm to offer cybersecurity services.
You could get IT support/Help desk role; if you're highly interested in cyber security, I wouldn't recommend wasting too much time in those roles as there's already lot more to learn then you think.
Hi Nicole, what about BTL1?
I've heard it is a good starting point, but is relatively new
Serious question. If you live in an area that isn’t near these large companies. What do you do?
Look into small businesses near you. Look at remote jobs. Mabe relocate if that is an option.
@@nicoleenesse I am relocating. From California to Florida lol as of this month. I can’t live here anymore.
@@nicoleenesse I will definitely look into remote jobs and small businesses. That’s what I was thinking but at least you agree
nice video very informative. how much do you think i can make with my associates degree in cybersecurity. looking for a help desk job to get more experience? i will be looking to get my A+ certificate this summer.
Helpdesk is 40k 50k starting out. I wouldn't stay there very long. If you have an associates degree I would go for a SOC position.
@@nicoleenesse oh ok before or after i get the A+ certification.
How about a bachelors in liberal arts, some years as a help desk and working on my sec+ cert. is this enough to go for SOC analyst position?
Willing to gain experience and train myself in the meantime before I start applying in the summer.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, Nichole. I love you.
Hi Nicole! Is it possible to take SOC courses and apply as SOC analyst even I dont have experience in IT jobs?
If you do training / a cert and build a good home lab someone will most likely give you a shot.
Yes it would work out just have to find the company willing to give you a shot at it. I’m currently studying for my associates degree in computer science with a certificate in Cisco certified network associate. I have no experience in IT as I always been a delivery driver but I recently got hired for a Cybersecurity internship working remotely from home. I got rejected by smaller help desk positions. Like I said putting yourself out there and networking with people can open lots of opportunities.
@@ChrisMasFlow Thank you!
Mam can I get remotely job in other country on tha bases of Cyber security certificate
I am not aware of other countries job markets
@@nicoleenesse dear you are so beautiful
Night shift being bad for your health depends on keeping the proper sleep schedule and being that "Bat"
SOC analyst sounds like a job you would see in a Tom Clancy novel.
baahahhahaha
I also want a door in the foot
If someone asks me whom did you admire the most I'll say it's nicole anesse🙆
awww
All the Tier 1 SOC Analyst roles ask for 2+ years of SOC Analyst experience lol
is this similar to incident responder ?
Ehh, they are different. Incident responder works on a CSIRT team SOC analyst does not and is more of the first line of defense
I think it cut off at “becoming a pen tester and documenting half of your…”
12:11
ughh thanks for letting me know
Sure! It’s okay because after watching other videos I understand pen testers have to document everything. I still want to be a pen tester but always learning more. Thank you so much for your videos and guidance 🙏🏽
I use to think that was alot of money, but it's really not
it's not lol
Wth is the average pay like in the US, here in the uk that’s around £75000 which would put you in the 96th percentile of earners…
@@JD-ny9qj Places like California, New York, Boston, and Seattle, you need $100k to be close to comfortable, not even wealthy. Rent in San Diego for a 1 bedroom apartment is approximately $2400/month (no utilities).
Your door in the foot
I wish you a beautiful day like your soul
Thank you
Stuff that Stuffs 😂😂😂
I really wanna like this but the likes are at 404 and I'm having difficulty changing it
bahahahha
Door in the foot? No thank you.
Slave away for 90k!
Not bad. How about slave away for 45k a year..
Aboslutely horrible editing. You looking to the left before every cut is insanely annoying and distracting. Good information though.
Hi @Nicole i would like t ask you some things how can i contact you?
