Cybersecurity Career Bootcamp: SOC Analyst Foundations
Description
Security Operations Centres (SOCs) watch over an organisation’s systems around the clock. SOC analysts review alerts, investigate suspicious activity, and start the response when something is real. It is one of the most common entry points into cybersecurity.
This bootcamp is built around the daily work of a junior SOC analyst. You will learn how attackers operate, where the evidence of their activity appears, how to read logs and work with a SIEM, how to triage alerts quickly and accurately, and how incident response is organised. The final module turns your learning into a portfolio and interview plan.
Each module ends with a quiz. Work through the practical tasks in a home lab to get the most from the course.
