How to become a soc analyst?
I want to become a SOC Analyst as fast as possible and get job-ready in the shortest path.
So far, I’ve studied Network+ and I’m currently reviewing Security+ concepts. I’m also planning to study eCIR.
I spend a lot of time practicing labs on TryHackMe, especially SOC / Blue Team related rooms, and I’m trying to focus more on practical skills than only theory.
What would be the best roadmap from here if my goal is to land a junior SOC Analyst job quickly?
Also, what skills do companies actually care about most for entry-level SOC roles right now?
If anyone has a roadmap, study plan, learning path, or any advice that could help me avoid wasting time and become job-ready faster, I’d really appreciate it.
Please share the shortest and most practical path you’d recommend.
