Anyone got any experience with the Linux foundation / Kubernetes.io training they offer for around $600,- a pop?
Specifically what is the difference between them? And are they worth the investment (in your view ofcourse)
Thoughts on this Google Cybersecurity Professional certificate course? I’m completely new to the field and just want something to learn the basics with, not expecting to land a job with this one alone.
I haven’t taken it so not sure. But I’ve seen a lot of people interested in it. Interested to hear any reports back once someone does though.
Looking at sending myself and a vulnerability management team to or through some kind of training. I’ve been seeing a ton of people touting the Blue Team training program/cert can anyone attest to whether it’s really decent? The team and I are military so what training we’ve had has been fast and pretty surface-level, if it even exists.
Are there any particular skills you want your team to gain? I’ve taken a bunch of trainings and have some written thoughts on them here https://shellsharks.com/training-retrospective#certification-and-training-mini-reviews if you’re interested.
Generally I’m just looking for more formal SOC training. Specifically I’d like them to learn more about SIEM management, traffic analysis, incident response and report writing. What I like about the BTL1 from what I’ve read is that it’s all lab-based rather than knowledge-based like their Sec+ certs or some other entry-level security certs. That said it’s a new program so while I’ve seen some buzz about it, it’s just from randoms and strangers so I don’t have a good way to see if it’s really worth the time or money.
Gotcha. It’s not cheap but I found SANS SEC450 to be a pretty fantastic SOC course.
As a beginner, other than HTB what else can I use to learn at home?
Youtube has some great stuff on it (@LifeOverflow, @IppSec to name 2) there is also the CyberSecurity Zero to Hero bundle on Humble Bundle, (for about 16 more days)
and as always, try and get a home lab setup if you can and have the resources… having your own stuff is always the best way to learn. (imho)
I’m trying to setup my own instance for next cloud and if possible a VPN on my Odroid N2+. Is that a step in the right direction?
Thanks for the other recommendations!
There is a ton of online training options out there. I have attempted to document them here https://shellsharks.com/online-training. good luck!
Thanks a lot! I’ll check it out
