A SOC Analyst is a cybersecurity specialist that works in a company’s Security
Operation Center (SOC) and is responsible for threat identification and analysis on the
front lines. A SOC Analyst proactively identifies threats and vulnerabilities, investigates
attacks on systems, and reports the findings to the senior members of the team. On
average, a SOC Analyst’s salary in the United States is $65,272.

It may be an ideal profession for you if you are good at crisis management and wish to
investigate technical crimes and cyber incidents.
Let us consider you are a newbie who wishes to start a career in cybersecurity or the
information security industry as a SOC Analyst but does not know where to begin. We
have got you covered, and this article will discuss how you can become one. However,
there is no sure shot method, but these steps will surely get you there.
1. Get a bachelor’s degree: This is the first step to becoming a SOC Analyst. Get a
bachelor’s degree, preferably in computer science, information technology, or other
related disciplines.
2. Learn computer and network fundamentals: The basic knowledge of
computers and networks form the backbone of your cybersecurity career. It would
help if you had a good grasp on topics like computer hardware and software,
switches, routers, networking protocols like TCP/IP, OSI model, DNS, logs, firewalls, and
more.
3. Learn to operate different operating systems: You must be able to work on a
variety of operating systems like Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS.

4. Learn cybersecurity fundamentals: Learn how to use firewalls, routers, and
other security infrastructure, as well as how to discover vulnerabilities and threats
and threat and risk management frameworks. You should also learn hacking and
penetration testing skills.
5. Learn programming languages: You are expected to be proficient with core
programming languages such as Python, C, C++, PHP, Perl, Java, and scripting to
become a SOC Analyst.
6. Learn to work with tools: It is essential to learn to operate tools like Wireshark
to prepare you for the role.
7. Earn certifications: Although it is not a necessary step, you must consider
earning a badge to prove your credibility and acquire the knowledge and skills
needed for the position. You can opt for certifications like CompTIA CySA+ and
EC-Council CSA. We will also recommend opting for certifications like Network+,
Security+, and CEH before the CySA+ and CSA certifications. This will help you
hone your foundational skills. You can enroll in SOC Expert combo, SOC Analyst,
or SOC Specialist training courses at InfosecTrain. These courses have been
specifically designed to help you prepare for SOC Analyst and multiple other SOC
roles.

collaboration.
Moreover, you need to have a continuous learning mindset and always stay
updated on the cybersecurity landscape.
