How I Got Into Cybersecurity | My Plan Before 2027

I'm on a journey to become a SOC Analyst, and I'm documenting every step along the way! 💙 After graduating with a Computer Science degree, I spent time exploring different career paths before discovering cybersecurity. I started with the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, strengthened my foundations in networking, Windows, and Linux, and now I'm focusing on developing practical SOC skills. In this video, I'm sharing my story, what I've learned so far, and the two goals I'm working toward before 2027, Insha'Allah. 🎯 *MY TWO GOALS BEFORE 2027* 1️⃣ *Develop practical SOC skills* I'm working through three TryHackMe learning paths: Pre Security Cyber Security 101 SOC Level 1 My goal is to strengthen my foundations, practice hands-on investigations, and become more confident applying what I learn. 2️⃣ *Connect with experienced SOC analysts* I want to build genuine professional relationships with at least five SOC analysts who are already working in the field. I hope to learn from their experiences, receive career advice, and better understand what it takes to enter the SOC field. 📹 *WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS CHANNEL* I'll share weekly videos about: My cybersecurity learning journey SOC Analyst skills and hands-on practice Networking, Windows, and Linux Cybersecurity labs, tools, and challenges Lessons learned and advice from experienced professionals My progress toward becoming a SOC Analyst I'm still learning, and I don't have everything figured out.
