Tom
Tier 2 SOC Analyst
My Experience with Security Blue Team
Back in 2020 I decided to transition from DevOps/Systems Engineering into a role with more focus on cyber security, in particular DFIR. I took BTL1 after months of decision making and was glad I did. The hands-on training gave me everything I needed to gain the coveted gold when I finally took the exam, and the confidence to jump straight into a senior SOC analyst role.

Tier 2 SOC Analyst
My Experience with Security Blue Team
The Blue Team Level 1 Certification is a comprehensive exam that incorporated many different skills that a blue team operator may require depending on the role they wish to go into. The content is easy to follow and goes into more than sufficient detail. The Exam itself was undoubtedly challenging and took me approximately 18 hours to attain gold, the experience made me a much more confident and well-rounded analyst and has made me qualified for lead roles.

This methodology helps Fortra ensure that our analysts have a consistent education with sufficient hands-on training to competently approach many of the complicated scenarios which they are likely to encounter, whilst providing profound expertise to our customers during security incidents.
