SOC Analysts are critical to an organization’s ability to detect and respond to security incidents. Their effectiveness relies on understanding a wide array of evidence sources, from network traffic to system logs, disk images, and memory artifacts. Mastering these tools and techniques takes time, but the right experience is key. While each SOC may have its own tech stack, there are core tools that every SOC Analyst should be familiar with. In today’s edition of The Cyber Mentor Newsletter, we highlight these essential tools and methodologies. To gain hands-on experience with these tools, join our SOC Level 1 Live Training from January 21-24, 2025. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot soon! https://lnkd.in/g9x5YK3W

My final project for my Bachelor's degree in Cyber security was comparing Network-based IDS to Host-based IDS systems. I am more of a red teamer than a blue teamer, but it is also good to see how these systems work from both sides of the fence.
