@@UnixGuy code also works for the monthly plans, deciding which one currently 🤔 😅
@@tbsg5834 read on the page, it explains whats included in each subscription
@UnixGuy It means a lot to me that I have this opportunity. I am a second-year cybersecurity degree student and feel that I still lack practical skills. I want to take this as part of my cybersecurity journey. Which subscription would you recommend, VIP or VIP+?
@@JohsonClint look through them, each give you different access. Depends on your goals :) I'll get vip+ with the discount code and student discounts it's very reasonable
@@UnixGuy Awesome! I'll go with VIP+. Thanks, UnixGuy, for the great videos and voucher. I'm so grateful to have inspiring people like you pursuing cybersecurity. Keep up the amazing work!
You continue to remind me why I follow you. Wonderful Job
🤝🏻
Just got a new sub man i am an orphan going thru life alone and i put my self thu "network admin school" once i turned 18 then that school shut down for fraud ended up getting my own certs now its time to move up from help desk on to the good stuff have about 5 years or help desk, hardware soft ware repair and network installer on new businesss. True story back in 2016 certain parts of Texas were paying 8hr with certs and experience. F that 😂😂😂
oh wow!! welcome here :)
I am a Congolese individual currently based in Scotland. I am seriously hungry for a career change! When I do get the job, I will travel all the way to your destination, shake your hand, and buy you a coffee!
Best of luck! I love coffee 🥲
And we want an update for cloud security roadmap, thank you
soon my friend! it wont be an update, just an addition, the current cloud video is still valid :)
@@UnixGuy exactly that what I meant 👍
@@UnixGuywait there’s a video on it?
@@TheHelpfulHub7 browse my videos and you'll find it
Okay @@UnixGuy
You really help people. You show where to turn. Well done.
🙏🏻
I appreciate your comments from 13:30-14:10. I’ve been struggling focusing on one specialty skill at a time and find myself bouncing around between GRC, networking, SOC, etc. The generalist” approach is appreciated because without any prior IT/Cybersecurity experience, all of these specialty fields seem attractive, but I have a fear of getting “pigeon-holed” in one area…then finding out I don’t really like that specialty or I’m “stuck” in that career path. However, I know I just need to focus on one thing at a time if I want to make any true progress and stop overthinking this career change. GRC Mastery is my first milestone I want to complete soon. Hope that all made sense. Thanks for the great content!
great approach, keep it up 👏🏻
This is very useful for someone starting in Cybersecurity. I am in my 20s and was thinking of getting into a technology-based world, I think I found my path to a successful tech career. You should do more of this topic on becoming a SOC analyst and how to advance one's career. Big up man love our content.
Thanks, glad you found it useful 🙏🏻
congrats on 200k 🎉
thanks mate
How did you know I've been waiting for this?! 💙 I'm so hyped, definately going to jump on board once my current plate is clean.
you’ll enjoy it 👏🏻👏🏻
@@UnixGuyhi sir, i just finished the google cybersecurity certificate what should i do next should i jump to letsdefend soc analyst course? pls give me advice im still confuse what roadmap i will take i watched alot of cybersecurity videos their telling its hard and i know that it will be challenging for me as a complete beginner with zero knowledge by the way I'm from phlippines
@Bongkeetu I'm still doing my Google cyber security course 🥲
I’m currently doing Google Cert as following your road map, thanks for sharing ❤
Keep up the good work 👏🏻
Even if you are aiming for other areas of cyber, gaining a wide net of skills will only make you better. The learning paths almost make the cost a no brainer.
agreed!
@@UnixGuyI concur with you Sir.
I'm a little salty. I just purchased my annual subscription yesterday morning with their Black Friday discount.
Thanks for recommending this though. I like the setup of their platform and didn't hear about until one of your videos
it’s a massive difference :) enjoy it!
Congrats on the 200k you deserve it great content bro.
@@Sanc888 thanks for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it 🤝🏻
As someone who is coming from a healthcare background with no IT experience, this has been EXTREMELY helpful.
Awesome to hear it’s helping!
This looks so cool going to definitely check this out
you gonna love it!
Just used the discount code appreciate the help!!
🤝🏻
I gotta try this. This is amazing!
Enjoy it!
I really appreciate your work.
🙏🏻
Nice!! Happy to get that update!
🎉
The code appears to work for monthly or annual subscriptions. Many thanks!
🎉
This is great! Awesome recommendation. Singing up. How long would you estimate it takes to complete the entire course doing it full time?
depends on how fast you learn! take your time
I am a serious follower of your content and an aspiring SOC analyst.i did GCP and blue team level 1.I found incident response and threat management are interesting to me.what should I consider as my next steps.
your focus should be on getting a job. keep doing training until you get hired. Those topics are covered in letsdefend so you can make use of the discount code
@@UnixGuyThanks brother.Without you I would be in a loop of doing mcq based exams like CompTIA.
Should i go for HTB CDSA or let’s defend as I completed BTL1 with 80% yesterday.
@ your priority should be applying to jobs and try and get hired asap. continue to learn and apply to jobs till you reach your goal
honestly both cdsa and letsdefend are great! if you wanna take advantage of the discount go for letsdefend
@@UnixGuyThanks 😊.I will start applying ASAP.
how did yiu find the BTL1 cos i am bout to do that and i have been stalling it thinking im not ready any help ?
I'm currently attempting your 6 month roadmap you talked about recently, starting with Google cert, the security+, etc. Maybe after security+ i should take the lets defend course and apply for jobs? Your vids are very relaxing due to your chill demeanor and voice. I shall continue watching :)
Which video is the one with the roadmap ?
@christophergopeesingh5967 it's like "if I could start over and learn cyber security in 6 months" or something like that. It's from maybe a month or so ago now. Hope this helps :)
I would start applying straight away! I explained it in this video:
ruclips.net/video/2RfwwlbQecs/видео.html
@@UnixGuy like right after the two certs? :) or if you mean like right now, honestly, I think I'd be comfortable doing so after learning a bit more about the cloud first but yeah :)
@@insulinresistantpotato4281 I mean right after google, watch the video I linked above, it answers everything
What do you think about thm & htb? Are their modules good as well? Or what puts letsdefend over thm & htb
all those platforms are great, one is not better than others. They all accomplish pretty much the same thing :)
Thanks!
🙏🏻
Would you consider making an updated video on creating/structuring a resume to get rhat first job?
Yes I will, very soon :) this video will help you for now:
ruclips.net/video/2RfwwlbQecs/видео.html
Hello! Thank You once more for a great portion of knowledge, and work you're doing for the community! I am actually one of the people who got into the cybersecurity thanks to your videos! I have a quick question - did you happen to try out the more advanced portions of the platform like incident response or malware analysis? I’ve recently finished CDSA, and am looking for some additional incident response materials 😊. Best regards!
woho congrats to landing your cyber security jobs! I love hearing about your success story!
Yes I had a look, it’s pretty awesome :)
I did a bit more of a research as well, looks like a great offer and rich content! Thanks for reminding about the letsdefend :)
Hey UnixGuy! I’m currently following your 6 month roadmap. Do you still recommend the virtual internships you had mentioned previously? In addition to this very informative video? Thank you so much!
yes! follow the 6-months as it is, dont skip anything in it. Letsdefend can be done after :)
Thank you so much for the video! I hope you could make one as well for JR Penetration 😊✨

Great work..👏👏 Thank you for this guidancde..😊 But still I am struggling which path should I choose ?
Follow this path:
How I Would Learn Cyber Security If I Could Start Over in 2024 (6 Month Plan)
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html
and do Letsdefend at the end of it :)
Great video Thanks alot..
🤝🏻
@UnixGuy I've been studying python and machine learning for months alongside with google cybersecurity certificate. I have a question is the machine learning specialisation enough for a cyber sec ?. I want to apply machine learning in cybersecurity
Depending on your company, it can be partly due to Ai. I got laid off after 3 years with a company. Part of it is because they were starting to automate the initial triaging we performed on alerts coming into SOC
sorry to hear about the lay off :(
Great, love from India 😊
🤝🏻
I am doing your 6 months roadmap and I am on the 4th module on the Google cybersecurity certificate. When do you recommend to do this course? And do you recommend to do GRC mastery first and this training course?
yes GRC Mastery first then this :)
Great video! I have finished Google cert and currently studying for Sec+ now. I’m wondering if I should go for THM first or Lets Defend for SOC analyst role. Which one should I go for?
both are great choices! start with letsdefend and see how you go
I found LetsDefend more begginer friendly.
Hi UnixGuy, I know you been exposed to applicants resumes. Is it possible where you can help your community by reviewing some of our resumes, or show us examples of how to create resumes base upon no job experience but practice on sites like LetsDefend, HTB and THM or home labs targetting the 3 biggest roles people are searching for such as SOC analyst, Pen tester and GRC. Also a video of you would creating a resume from start to finish based on what I said would also be appreciated. Love your videos, keep it going!
👍
Finally started HTB CDSA last month after dragging my feet since last year and I must say it is entirely different to what Im used to: studying multiple-choice exam materials. It's more challenging yes and could take me months to finish since I am a beginner but I already feel better with this track you've put me on.
When I do conclude CDSA do you think it's necessary to do LetsDefend or TryHackMe SOC courses?
glad to hear that and this is precisely why I always recommend practical training, you’ll be so much more confident!
as for what to do next, it depends on your goal! if you’re doing my 6-months roadmap video, look into GRC Mastery to broaden your skills or you could sign up to letsdefend making use of this discount and practice with their soc monitoring or other courses :)
@UnixGuy much appreciated Cap'n
Thank you so much, very useful... Please can you give a guideline on how someone can use let's defend to land a SOC Job within 1 month and the person already has the Google cybersecurity certificate
that’s not how hiring works :) watch this:
ruclips.net/video/2RfwwlbQecs/видео.html
Im current starting my IT journey. Work is going to pay for certifications for comp tia ITF, A+, NET AND SEC +. So starting there then going to figure out which route i want to go
good luck!
Hands-on training is indeed a crucial pillar for the job hunt, I'm primarily focusing on that while taking 2-3 "highly recognized" credentials like Sec+ to bump up my resume. What do you think of this strategy? (given that I live in an area where hiring is based on pieces of paper)
not the strategy that I recommend
I am doing your 6 months roadmap and I am on the 4th module on the Google cybersecurity certificate. When do you recommend to do this course?
at the very end! after GRC Mastery and before tryhackme
Thank you for your genuine support to new people entering into these cyber security. Do you any good Operational Technology (OT) cyber security training courses ? I work for an energy company and they have a cyber security team and i wanted to do some good OT Cyber trainig. So I could eventually move into the OT security team.
unfortunately there are no good OT training around. your best bit is to be a good well rounded cyber professional and pick up OT as you go
@UnixGuy I have completed, certified in CC from ISC2 and now pursuing Google Cyber Security certification.
Any suggestions on where you list it on your resume? Education?
look at where it’s located in the free template that I provided :) it can go before or after experience (for beginners put it before expeirence if it is relevant)
@@UnixGuy Thank you very much.
Going to go through this but I want to pick up security plus then do these labs. I like the part on picking up SOC tickets. I work in a NOC and the ISP i work for has Cyber security jobs but I've been working their for almost 20 years and wanted a change... Or maybe its easier to just do a lateral move.
you’ll enjoy it!
Can you do a Network security engineer path?
👍
Good morning from Texas! What is the difference between the LetsDefend SOC learning path and the HackTheBox academy SOC learning path? Any specific reason you recommend the former? Thank you for your help!
I recommended both in different videos, they’re both good quality and similar
Please make a video on "zero to cloud security engineer" and "zero to application security engineer" with every resource and courses includes ... please sir
I have made both those videos already, browse through and find them :) I will make updated versions soon
In your opinion do you find college worthwhile if you want to enter this field?
it’s not a must but it can help in some cases! follow the plan in the video and you can do college part time on the side
Hello Unix,
How would you compare LetsDefend SOC analyst to THM SOC 1? Do you think one is enough since both of their contents is similar?
yes both are great
Hi @UnixGuy, Should I need to pay for all these learning paths separately or if I take one annual subscription, can I do the 3 learning paths cyber security for students, SOC analyst path and SOC monitoring to practice?
read the description of each subscription tier (vip and vip+ and read what they cover)
Real stupid question. How would one list bug bounty hunting on resume? And how said experience can help with getting a cybersecurity job?
Use chatgpt the same way I used it in the video, just ask it about bug bounty :)
Can you share CV template for us so we can take example how it looks like. Thank you so much.
watch the video, i provided you a link to download it in the video :)
Recently following your videos. I see that companies around me still look for certifications. Can the letsdefend training passively prepare me for those certifications? Or should I also look for proper certification training course? I am looking at comptia security+ and cysa
they actually have cysa training in letsdefend! check it out
I have 6 years of ios mobile app developer experience..and then 5 years of career gap. Really wanted to getinto cyber security job ..wat would you suggest bro ? I am looking at soc analyst role .is it mandatory to gain Google cybersecurity, comptia + or grc mastery to begin soc analyst profile ?
nothing is mandatory but starting with google cyber cert and then grc mastery and then letsdefend will give you a great chance
Thank you for this information, i am acting on it now but can you do a video on penetration testing and how we can get the lab?
ruclips.net/video/5hiqPTUs-yc/видео.html
I'm currently taking the Google CyberSecurity certificate course. Halfway through. I want to go into GRC. Should I do the GRC Mastery course and the SOC Analyst course for more technical modules to learn and have hands-on experience? Thank you!
Haha nevermind you answered this in the end! Time for me to get to work!
finish GRC Mastery then do this one :) one step at a time!
@@UnixGuy Thank you, I'm on it!
I'm learning SOC Analyst in THM; which one is good, THM or Letsdefend?
both are fantastic practical platforms, cant go wrong with either :) u can make use of the discount code here if u like
I know your focus is cybersecurity. But, I bet you've got some insight on how to become a network engineer starting from zero. If I'm right, I believe a lot of people would love to hear your insight.
👍
Do yoz recommend the SIEM Engineer path too?
yep its good!
i`m getting Comptie SEC+ Aand will get the link below. Do you recommend more certs to add on or other advise to break in ?

@@ferhataslantas9522 yes big cities have more opportunities
Is tcm security courses/certs good?
I like their penetration testing course PNPT
I recently started THMSOC1, would you say let’s defend is more a beneficial course for someone who’s aspiration is to be a SOC analyst?
no, it’s both are great courses! do THMSOC1 then come back and do letsdefend :)
@ thanks! i will get a lets defend subscription now anyway to save some money
Im now learning google cyber security course should I learn soc ? And when i do start now or after?

@UnixGuy I already watched 3 times that's why I'm now learning google cyber security course in Coursera through financial aid option
Hi from upcoming cybersecurity professional 😂
Welcome aboard!
Hi bro,
currently i'm doing google Cyber security cert. should i try SOC analyst from lets defend first. i also do have 4 years of IT helpdesk experience. i also did a bootcamp in cybersecurity. please advise.
follow this roadmap as it is without changing it. do letsdefend after you finish all of the roadmap:
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html
What if you already completed the SOC Analyst let’s defend path 😞 what’s next do I continue with working through other modules? I was looking into BTL1 and Level Effect platform.
if you managed to land a job, then great :) you can continue learning!
if you haven’t landed a job, then you need to continue learning until you land a job. I explained this process in this video, pleasr watch it till the end:

@@UnixGuy Thanks So much and I will continue my learning and improve on my skills I am currently working through SOC analyst path from Tryhackme and will do level 2 once I complete it. One question though are you one day going to make a SOC (Blue Team courses) similar to your GRC mastery Course?
Hello, sir. Could you give us a career path for a SIEM engineer?
there is a SIEM in letsdefend, you can make use of the discount code
Unixguy, hi. Thank you for your videos. I'm considering a career change and am interested in the SOC Analyst position. I have completed Google Cybersecurity and taken a few courses on TMC. It appears that Lets Defend will help me learn this career path and build the skill sets for an entry-level position. Would you recommend other skill sets beyond what you mentioned in your video?
start with the video and later add GRC skills through GRC Mastery as mentioned in this video:
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html
@@UnixGuy Thank you and very grateful for you and your advice. Outside of Facebook, do you have a Discord channel that I can join to ask questions and seek career advice? Again, thank you and have a great day.
Would you recommend this over try hard me soc analysis 1 and 2
both are great platforms, you can’t go wrong with either! I say make use of the current discount code from LetsDefend
Differences between LetsDefend and blue team level 1. Which one would you prefer? Biases aside lol
there is no bias, they’re both fine and I recommended both in previoue videos. I’d pick letsdefend and make use of the code and its generally more affordable
Once I'm done the Google cyber security I'll do this. Or should I pause Google and do this ?
no don’t pause! As explained in the video, combine skills, so finish google cert, add GRC skills and add SOC analyst skills. One step at a time
@UnixGuy appreciate it.
in comptia security plus do i have to tick all the correct answers in multiple choice questions to be awarded mark
if the questions asks you to do that, yes
Sir, is this Lets defend course not available for free?? and
Sir, how much time does it take to complete this course, and how much time does it take to become SOC analyst through this course?
it is not free, read the pricing options. it’ll take as long as need, depends on how fast you learn
What’s the discord.? I’m really looking to join the cybersecurity community.!!

hi, i am from india,, wanted to know that i have a clg degree on biological sci, do i need a technical degree to enter into cyber security job??
no you dont
Hey unix guy , Actually I have done google cert also doing Qualiys cert ,so I'm looking for GRC analyst role so would you recommend me for lets defend ?
Pls share some resources for Grc role which would be affordable for students because as of now I want to join GRC mastery course but can't afford right now
this is a SOC Analyst training, it wont lead to a GRC role. For GRC , the only training that Im happy with is GRC Mastery, do the free training that i have in another video while you save up and invest in GRC Mastery if you’re serious about career in GRC
Thanks for the response pls share any reference video link
In my country, recruiters ask for actual many years working experience and many certificates. Too sad I still can't get a cyber security job . I even don't have any interview recently 😕
follow what I recommend in my videos and you’ll get to your goal
I'm only 19 and have no money to invest. Is there a way for me to get into cybersecurity jobs?
stick to free resources, get a job and save. No other choices
@UnixGuy, can you please help me find these resources and explain how they will help me land a job?
Hey I already started the try hack me should I leave it and pursue this instead
finish tryhackme then come back to this :) both plarforms are great :)
Do both. THM is actually more in-depth. Letsdefend is straight to the point and easier.

@UnixGuy 🫡
Mayne, i am having a hard time altogether.
sorry to hear that!
Bro 6 months ago you said to use the Google cyber security cert now you’re saying to use let’s defend, which is it?
you may wanna watch the videos properly till the end, you’re completely missing the point
@ my bad brother, I guess I missed that last part. Thanks
@@UnixGuy I lost my job back in June, was laid off. I was a senior network engineer. I’ve been applying for jobs but haven’t had any offers so now I’m thinking of switching to cybersecurity.
sorry to hear about the layoff, that must be tough! hope you find something soon! your networking background will help you a lot 🤝🏻
I'm sibi, currently doin computer engineering as 3rd in my uni, i was researching that what learning path , required skills can be done in order to become soc or cyber security analyst for over the 6 months and I've got interested in cyber security field such as cybersecurity analyst, soc analyst...gonna start my learning journey from the scratch after 2025 , can I do this "let's defiend annual plans"? after once I complete the 1.Google cyber security begginer certificate 2. Blue team level 1 certified 3. And this let's defund annual plans that is related to soc skills....???? , what should I do ..
follow the 6-months plan as it is, dont change it
I'm currently taking google cybersecurity courses, do you recommend taking this course immediately after finishing the google cybersecurity courses???
you definitely can, however, I recommend following this plan first:
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.htmlsi=_t0ET1ShILqOxA5h
best to do letsdefend after you finish all of that plan, you’ll be more equipped
Thank you so much, I'm following your roadmap and its very helpful, thank u again for your time 🙏
How do the three compare against each other?
HTB - SOC Analyst Path
Let's Defend - SOC Analyst Learning Path
Try Hack Me - SOC Level 1 & 2
those are all great courses and I’ve recommended them in the past
you can wrong with either, the trick is to pick a platform and stick to it till the end (without quitting)
the advanrage of letsdefend is the offer and discount code they have, otherwise they’re all great and practical :)
What would the hackthebox equivalent of this be?
cdsa
Is this more recommended than soc level 1 in try hack me?
not really, both platforms are great :) Im just showing another great option that you can explore
Hey I started the soc analyst course on try hack me do I still need to do the let’s defend course
no you don’t
Thank you so much for the knowledge you share can we also get access to your discord server
