@audiobooks_com Hey, I'd like to have the credits that are part of my monthly subscription available to me. I've paid for the monthly subscription for years, which comes with 1 credit for the month. Disappointing that there isn't phone support and only email chat on weekdays.

@SymoneBeez Damn! Xenophobia

@LexyTheeSQL @blkwomenread Who’s the govt bootcamp being offered by?

[Gaylan Wright @Nomad_lyf]

@teneikaask_you That's something to consider now smh

[Gaylan Wright @Nomad_lyf]

@mynameisticco @SymoneBeez Right! Going to work for fun sounds like something the FL education system would say like people learned valuable skills by being a slave

8. Pro Tips, Certifications, and Wrap Up✅

I have a free guide on how to do that here,

👉https://t.co/KCtMCOe4BU

8.2 Take Your Time, Try Harder

If you want a career in a SOC, then you need to take your time with these classes.

Do not rush.

Take notes, review those notes, document everything in your portfolio.

If you get stuck on a subject or a technical issue, you MUST get yourself out of it if possible.

Google and ChatGPT are going to be essential.

8.3 Home Lab

Cybersecurity is hands on.

I highly recommend you set up a home lab. Many of the classes above are hands on.

If they are not hands on then I HIGHLY recommend you download anything you need for that class to follow along and make it hands on.

Here is a guide for making a home lab,

👉https://t.co/PioepyiqEY

8.4 Certifications*

I do not believe you need any certifications to become a SOC Analyst if you have a strong portfolio and resume. Which you will if you follow this guide as written!

That said, you can probably pass any SOC Analyst cert below with minimal additional studying after doing this guide:

GIAC Security Operations Certified (GSOC)
HTB Certified Defensive Security Analyst (HTB CDSA)
EC-Council Certified SOC Analyst (CSA)
SBT Blue Team Level 1
OffSec Defense Analyst (OSDA)

*These certs are obviously not free. Some of them are really expensive. A good portfolio will silence any doubters.

[The Jobfather ® 🇯🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧 @TheJobfather__]

Black people. You belong in Tech. You deserve to take up space in this industry. Non-Technical or Technical, it does not fucking matter. If you’re committed to doing the work and you have the patience then yes. You belong here and your voice is indeed needed.

[Earthling🇵🇸🇺🇦 @BolshevikNeo]

@luckytran The federal laws on companies required to provide mandatory paid sick leave to those who tested positive for COVID should have been permanent.

[Vada Fly @Vada_Fly]

People pushing you to be better is not an attack or hating on you. it’s actually an act of love 🗣️💯

[💬🖼️ @HunterReveur]

@ProfFeynman A super valuable insight. Often, the barrier to achieving goals isn't a lack of intelligence, but rather a lack of focus. Concentrating efforts and attention can be more crucial for success than raw intelligence alone.

[Auden Dery @AudenDery]

@ProfFeynman Absolutely! Intelligence is often not the limiting factor; it's the laser focus that propels you forward.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you.

[Nifemi Aluko @Nifemi_Aluko_]

@PhysInHistory Anger is easy.
Peace is hard.

When you flare up, you take the easy path. You pour fuel into emotions that can consume you.

Bring awareness to the moment.
Take a few breaths before you react.

Cultivate peaceful reactions in your life.
