Looking for a Job? I Give You 30 Ways to Find a Job in Cyber:
Many struggle with direction when pursuing a job in Cyber Security. Learning can be easy, but figuring out what to learn can be the biggest challenge.
Here are 30 topics that can lead you straight into a job. No, you don't have to learn all of these, but the more you know, the more value you bring to the table. Remember, this is your own journey. You get to choose your direction. I'm just giving you the map.
1. Networking fundamentals - How do things talk?
2. Operating system security - Keep it locked it down.
3. Database security - Is that data safe?
4. Cryptography - SSL, TLS, AES, What is all this?
5. SIEMS - History is important!

8. Virtual private networks (VPNs) - Private tunnels
9. Penetration testing - Hacking and cracking.
10. Vulnerability assessment - What's this vuln?
11. Secure coding practices - Keep code secure
12. Web application security - A wasp? No, OWASP
13. Mobile device security - Locking phones down
14. Cloud security - It's up there floating around

18. Wireless security - All this data, floating in the air
19. Social engineering - I got donuts, let me in.

If you understand these and can communicate clearly about them, you are paving the way to a great future working from your pajamas. No one should care about HOW you learned what you know, but WHAT YOU KNOW.

Want to Become a SOC Analyst? Here are 11 Training Videos that Will Help You Get There, Including tools like WireShark, Splunk, AlienVault, QRadar, Crowdstrike and More.
Knowledge is Power.
There is no right or wrong way to learn. Whether it is self study, a Boot Camp, College, or a Mentor, the style of learning is up to you. No one cares how you gain your knowledge, they just care that you have it. When you can talk fluently about analyzing packets, SIEM tools, or how to configure an IDS, you will immediately be a step ahead of many.
I have found 11 video resources that will help you fine tune your skills in Defensive security so that you can work your way toward becoming a valuable SOC Analyst. I put these out awhile back, but due to people asking me about them, here they are again:
🔵 SIEM Tools:
AlienVault
LogRhythm
IBM QRadar
Splunk

🦈 Wireshark - Everything the internet does uses packets. Being able to break down and analyze packets to fully understand them and know what they are doing will truly help you understand nearly any SOC tool that you touch. Here is a full Wireshark Masterclass that I found for you:

No, learning each of these won't land you the job itself, but it will lead you in the right direction of developing a skillset. Whether we like it or not, we are all salespeople. We have to be able to sell the knowledge, skills, and wisdom that we have developed to a potential employer. It's your job to learn and market your knowledge.

Dear Cyber Security Enthusiast, we've all seen this:
1. Entry Level Jobs requiring 15 years of experience
2. Entry Level Jobs requiring a CISSP

When you are thinking of giving up, hang in there. This is a short season of life that will change it forever.
