GETTING STARTED AS A SOC ANALYST ?

Here are some must-learn tools for your skillset:

📌 Nmap - An open source scanning tool that helps map out networks and identify vulnerabilities. It's critical for understanding the assets SOC analysts need to protect.

👩🏽‍💻 Splunk - A SIEM platform for collecting, analyzing and correlating security data. Splunk helps SOC teams monitor, investigate threats, and comply with regulations.

✔️ Wireshark - A network protocol analyzer lets you inspect traffic and dig into anomalies. Great for troubleshooting network issues and understanding attacks.

🔵 Snort - An open source intrusion detection and prevention system. Snort uses rules to identify suspicious network activity and malware behaviors.

💫 Nessus - A vulnerability scanner that detects weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications. Helps SOC analysts proactively identify risks before attackers do.

🔖 MALTEGO - A network reconnaissance tool for mapping networks and identifying relationships.

These tools form a powerful toolkit for monitoring, detecting, investigating and responding to security incidents. Master them to excel as a SOC analyst!

Back in 2021, my friend Belinda Osei Asibey messaged me on WhatsApp. I just checked today after extraction and analysis and realised where she sent it from: she was at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources at the time. Looks like she sent it right from her office 😂😂.
