The best projects video. Most influencer fill their videos with fluff, you got straight into it. Granted you mostly talked about blue team and SOC analyst (which is my dream job) but you got straight to the point and gave actual free sites.
Subscribed! I just started my journey 2 days ago & I am so motivated and excited to be learning from others who have paved the way already! Thank you again, God bless you☦️
love that someone finally addressed projects regarding blue team / defense. sure CTFs are fun and so is learning about pen testing, but i don't think that will help me land my first job as much as this will. thank you!!!
You're welcome! Projects are super fun and challenging, take a look at the channel as I have quite abit of projects that you can follow along if you wish!
Thank you so much! I earned my cyber security certificate earlier this month and I've been holding back on sending in applications because I don't feel prepared. I do know someone in the field who wants to give a good reference and I don't want to disappoint.
Great question, I say if you’re in the position to purchase CCD, I would recommend it but if budgets are tight, go for CDSA Soc path and then TryHackMe or LetsDefend subscription 👍
you're doing such a great work sir. i've been learning the basic stuff i need to know, did some basic courses on Cisco & then on fortinet. currently doing the google cybersecurity course. most of the certificate exams focus more on the theoretical aspects of infosec/cloud sec, so I've been worrying if I'll have enough experience before going into my postgraduate degree & eventually getting an internship. will check out all these 4 resources overtime. thanks a lot!
what's funny is when i started on this path after deciding to switch careers, soc analyst was my dream job. not pen tester or ethical hacker like most people. i'm now also getting interested in forensics, but working with siem tools in a soc role starting out would be great
Great job on learning the basics, definitely something you don’t want to skip out on. Complimenting your theory knowledge with hands on experience will help you become a better analyst and these resources are perfect for that. Once you try them out let me know how that goes!
I feel so stupid going to Cyber now labs. I finished in July but I'll turn it around I have access to Splunk ES, Crowdstrike & Sentinelone not Microsoft Sentinelone. Qradar but I'll focus on Splunk ih Thehive & jira very basic stuff. Proofpoint I learned and gotta go back to watch the Wireshark lessons. My Crowdstrike & Splunk instructor were garbage waste of time and money. The expert instructor quit 1-3 months before I got taken her class. But I'll watch her last recordings the school offered as Supplement. Overall point is it's not too late this channel will be an extra guide.
You got access to a lot of great tools! Note that they are just tools though so try and understand what you are trying to do and why as this will help you along the way
Thank youuuuuuu for sharing these! Have been studying cybersecurity for a while and I think those exercises will be a really helpful add-on to what I'm doing right now. 🥰
Am here and cant wait to go along the journey. Am also on the google program and hope to level up my skills and transition into the role. Thank you unsung hero
Awesome! Great job on enrolling yourself into the google program. How do you like it? Providing value? If you have any questions, feel free to let me know! Thanks for the support
@@MyDFIR I am quite enjoying it and it is providing a ton of value. Initally i did know how to go about Cybersecurity but am glad such programs exist. I didn't see myself coding all day every day. I'll keep in contact if I have any burning questions of clarification.
Welcome! Thanks for subbing ❤️ I’ve created a similar video for Resumes however for these specific experiences and skills, I would list what you have learned and are comfortable talking to and using. For example, a lot of hands on training likes to use tools such as Splunk. Once you have enough experience with Splunk, you can put that under your skills section.
Hi MyDFIR, I just signed up via your website. Been working as a SOC analyst for about a year now, still have lots to learn and am happy where I am at the moment. I understand I need to do my due-diligence as I'm taking a more progressive approach to my sec career rather than trying to skip steps. One thing thats been on my mind is how do you know when to start specializing. How did you figure this one out?
Hey! That is a great question. As cliche as it sounds, you start specializing when you find exactly what you enjoy the most. For me, it was year 2 into my career as a SOC analyst. I knew I enjoyed investigating INCIDENTS and that was it. I searched what are some of the specializations that focused on INCIDENTS and landed on DFIR.
@@MyDFIR Yes, super convenient -couple of years ago there were hardly any in-browser labs especially for blue teamers. Also, labs are very realistic and well-thought-out.
Thanks for this information! I found it very informative. About how long do you think it will take to learn what's needed to make the jump into cybersecurity (SOC analyst role)? I've started a blog in the past in an unrelated field and was not successful. I will check out your video on how to start a blog. Again, thank you!
Realistically? About 2 years. You can learn whats needed within a year depending on how dedicated you are BUT likely there will be a lot of “memorization” thus, it would take some more time to put theory into practice hence why I say about 2 years.
Hello! Very informative video! You have earned a subscriber! I have a CS degree, planning to transitioning to cyber security. What are your recommendations to get started ? Which entry level cyber security job role should I apply to?
Thanks!! I would recommend you take a look at this video. It will provide you with guidance on where to start. Where to Start in Cybersecurity ua-cam.com/video/CAsuJaNg1xE/v-deo.html
hello i am currently doing Blue Team level 1 for hands on experience i just finished my security+ after im done with BTL 1 do you think I should have enough experience to start applying to job? and on my resume do i create a project section and add and explain what I learned and did in the Certification?
You can try however I would also continue to put yourself in front of different scenarios as much as possible by doing more hands on labs to gain the confidence to speak about them. For projects you want to format it as you would for work experience.
Great question, I would not. I would instead put those onto another site to make it look more “professional” and then in the heading put in the website. You can use something like medium or even LinkedIn. - but that is just me. Whenever I see someone link google drive I always associate it with malware haha
If you are new to cybersecurity, my advice instead of a book, I would opt for a free training course to learn and once you find your domain of interest, that is where you can purchase a book specific for that domain. I recommend you start off by watching this video to get started: ua-cam.com/video/CAsuJaNg1xE/v-deo.html
Thats a great question, depending on how comfortable you are with the tools learned, you could display them as “areas of expertise” - Do keep in mind you MUST be able to talk about it.
Informative video is SOC analyst and Cybersecurity analyst the same if not could you tell me what tools we need to use to get cybersecurity analyst/Engineer as a fresher
Cybersecurity analyst can mean a bunch of things, GRC, Red team, Blue team, Architect whereas SOC analyst is specific to Security Operations. If you want to be an engineer, understanding how to configure, build, test solutions such as a SIEM will be valuable. Hope that helps!
The hero we didnt know we needed
😂 thank you
I couldn't agree more...
This guy is really cool too.
Jesus, this channel is the GOAT for newbies like myself! Thanks man!
Thanks!!

Nice! I know that feeling but once you get some hands on experience with labs/projects, that feeling should slowly disappear.
Do you recommend the CCD from CyberDefenders, or should I go for Blue Team Level 1 (BTL1) instead since CCD seems more expensive?
Great question, I say if you’re in the position to purchase CCD, I would recommend it but if budgets are tight, go for CDSA Soc path and then TryHackMe or LetsDefend subscription 👍

Hello! Very informative video!
You have earned a subscriber!
I have a CS degree, planning to transitioning to cyber security.
What are your recommendations to get started ?
Which entry level cyber security job role should I apply to?
Thanks!! I would recommend you take a look at this video. It will provide you with guidance on where to start.

Awesome, thank you!
This is great
My man.
thanks dude!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
hello i am currently doing Blue Team level 1 for hands on experience i just finished my security+ after im done with BTL 1 do you think I should have enough experience to start applying to job? and on my resume do i create a project section and add and explain what I learned and did in the Certification?
You can try however I would also continue to put yourself in front of different scenarios as much as possible by doing more hands on labs to gain the confidence to speak about them. For projects you want to format it as you would for work experience.
Awesome channel. Just straight to the point and honest.
Thank you! That is the goal 😀
Should I post a google drive link to my labs/projects on my resume?
Great question, I would not. I would instead put those onto another site to make it look more “professional” and then in the heading put in the website. You can use something like medium or even LinkedIn. - but that is just me. Whenever I see someone link google drive I always associate it with malware haha
hello there i am new cyber security what is the 1st thing to learn books to read to go in my dream job as cyber security analyst????
If you are new to cybersecurity, my advice instead of a book, I would opt for a free training course to learn and once you find your domain of interest, that is where you can purchase a book specific for that domain.
I recommend you start off by watching this video to get started: ua-cam.com/video/CAsuJaNg1xE/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing. In what order would you recommend for a beginner?
Great question, no particular order to be honest but if I had to choose, I would go with BOTSv1, phishing, network
These are excellent platforms to hone your skills. How would you include these on your resume or portfolio as a project?
Thats a great question, depending on how comfortable you are with the tools learned, you could display them as “areas of expertise” - Do keep in mind you MUST be able to talk about it.
@@MyDFIR thank you!
Should we take notes while doing these projects ??
For sure! It will help you in the future. Trust me haha I still go back to my notes every now and then.
@@MyDFIR just wondering how could we document these on our resume ??
Great video
Thanks!
Suggest some cyber/hacking book
There are alot of “hacking” books for different skills. Any specific skill you are trying to achieve?
BOTS v1 isnt free anymore
Not with CyberDefenders but you can do it via Splunks BOTS site.
Hi bro, which course i want to choose bro CEH or SOC which one is best, please reply bro
Sorry could you remind me which SOC course you are referring to?
very useful
