    Hey Sandra thanks for the great content! I'm in a respected bootcamp but I feel like it's not teaching me enough in depth skills for me to become an analyst. Can you recommend some labs / projects that looks good on a resume when applying to entry level analyst roles?

    Do I need to have a IT background to help aid me in having a career in Cybersecurity?
    I’m currently working as a special police officer and recently became very interested in the field.

  • @Wadson
    @Wadson ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Why don't you just say SOCK? SOC analysts do NOT configure security tools. They review alerts and report. Security engineers configure.

    i have a degree in computer science and im getting my masters in cybersecurity, will that be enough for a SOC position?

    • @WithSandra
      @WithSandra  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Having a Masters is already higher education than most cybersecurity professionals that I know so I'd say yes. I'd still get a cert like the Sec+ just to round out your resume and get through any HR screenings that require candidates to have a cert. This should be an easy win for you since it's likely material you've already covered in your MS degree! Either way, it sounds like you're in a great spot. Best of luck and keep us updated with your progress! :)

    @evanschlemmer8899 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Dubious, I work in InfoSec and have helped train SOCs from many different companies....nobody pronounces it S.O.C Analyst, just say it like the thing between your foot and shoe please 😂 Sorry it really irked me. But accurate intro into what an analyst's day to day is like, get ready to be a data junkie until you move up tiers and get to do the fun stuff.

      That's a weird complaint I've never seen before loool...but anyways a lot of people talk with their hands, including myself...If that really bothers you though, all you have to do is just listen to her speak without watching her lol
