Cybersecurity Bootcamp: Zero to SOC Analyst in 21 Days

Job-Ready Cybersecurity Skills Training in 21 DAYS!

Go beyond cybersecurity theory and learn what it is actually like to work inside a corporate Security Operations Center. This hands-on cybersecurity bootcamp is designed to help you build practical, job-ready SOC Analyst skills by investigating security alerts, analyzing enterprise security logs, communicating with corporate users, enforcing security policies, and responding to real-world cyber threats.

Beginner Training: From Zero to HERO

The 21 DAY CYBER course is designed to take you from ZERO to HERO, even if you are starting as an absolute beginner. Rob Cyber walks you through each task, alert, investigation, and response step by step, with over 15 hours of hands-on training designed to build your job-ready cyber investigation skills so you can confidently impress cybersecurity recruiters and hiring managers. The experience is built to feel like you are working right beside Rob Cyber inside a Security Operations Center, learning how a real Cybersecurity Analyst investigates threats and responds to incidents.

Throughout the course, you will work with Splunk security logs and enterprise data sources, including Microsoft Entra ID, Suricata IDS/IPS alerts, DNS traffic, VPN activity, Windows security events, endpoint security data, and other corporate security logs.

You will learn how SOC Analysts investigate suspicious activity from beginning to end, including:

• Analyze Splunk security logs from Microsoft Entra ID, Suricata, DNS, VPN, Windows systems, and other enterprise security technologies.

• Investigate Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) alerts and respond to malicious IP activity using IP blocking and containment actions.

• Investigate endpoint security alerts, including malware downloads, suspicious files, compromised hosts, and device quarantine events.

• Perform phishing email investigations, analyze suspicious senders, URLs, attachments, and indicators of compromise, and take action against threat actors.

• Communicate directly with simulated corporate users to investigate malware downloads, suspicious activity, and potential security incidents.

• Enforce corporate cybersecurity policies, including restricted website access, unauthorized software installations, and unwanted application downloads.

• Investigate user, network, endpoint, email, and authentication activity across a realistic corporate security environment.

• Practice Cybersecurity Incident Response, including investigation, containment, remediation, documentation, and escalation.

• Work through a REAL SOC Analyst shift simulation with more than 120 security alerts, requiring you to analyze, prioritize, investigate, and respond just like an analyst working inside a Security Operations Center.

• Develop the investigative thinking and decision-making skills needed to determine what is normal, what is suspicious, and what requires immediate action.

This course is built around doing the work, not simply watching cybersecurity lectures. You will investigate alerts, review logs, communicate with users, make security decisions, and respond to threats across a simulated corporate environment.
