I obtained the SOC Level 1 Learning Path Certificate from TryHackMe and learned a lot about IT security and threat analysis.
Here are some of the key areas I learned about:
Fundamentals of computer networks and cryptography: I understood the operation of networks and network protocols, as well as basic encryption mechanisms.
Operating systems: Basic administration and configuration of Linux and Windows systems, including Active Directory, was not a problem for me.
Offensive cybersecurity: I learned about attack techniques and tools used by cybercriminals.
Defensive cybersecurity: I learned methods of detecting, analyzing, and responding to security incidents, including configuring and managing security tools, such as IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
Malware analysis: Identifying and analyzing malware became clear to me.
Threat hunting: Proactive searching for signs of attacks and threat simulation were not unfamiliar to me.
The SOC Level 1 learning path also taught me how to work with various analytical tools and real-life scenarios, which allowed me to gain practical experience.
