- In this video, I'll be sharing a day in the life of a SOC analyst. I'll be discussing things like my job, how I work from home, and the challenges of cyber security.
If you're interested in a career in cybersecurity, then this video is for you! In this video, I'll be sharing my experience working as a SOC analyst and how I manage my work from home. I'll also discuss the different cyber security challenges that I've faced and how I've coped with them. I hope you find this video helpful and informative!

Im in my Bachelors for Cyber Security and have taken a deep dive into the amount of video content available on Cyber Security. The content you've created here is unique in that it really gives a look into the daily routine of a security analyst. From meetings, cloud platform resources, attacks and real techniques used to remediate them. This has been very positive and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah! I'm an analyst much like shown here just a different tool set. There are mountains of content to help folks get the job, but like you said not a lot around keeping the job :D
I'm only going to be real here. The bachelor's in cybersecurity isn't seen in a good perspective as much as computer science with a security + cert. So, get internships and certs before you graduate.
I'm in my Bachelors for CS as well... I started like a year ago and find out that its useless, should i prepare myself for OSCP and get it done by graduation? I'm currently working my way on try hack me. I started 2 days ago and already done 1.5 topics and after finishing everything there, I'm planning to take or prepare myself for ejpt, Any advices ? Another thing to mention, i did not even look at what other roles do, such as in this video (SOC analyst) @@emilyau8023
Yea, i chose to go for cybersecurity since it will get 35% higher pay and etc in the near future, also that software engineering is oversaturt ash@@TechwithJono
This is the video I've been looking for! An actual DAY IN THE LIFE! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!
Bro! Thank you! You are the first person to actually show some work and programs that are used in the cyber security field. Everybody else just say what they do or how they do it but never actually show work or programs. Thank you for content. I am just now getting into the field and wanted to see some daily work or activities, so thank you.
I have a Bachelors in IT but started delving into Cyber Security. I'm currently studying for the SOC analyst position but not sure if this is the route I want to go. Your video gives insightful perspective especially with the tools you use (i.e. Splunk SOAR, Crowdstrike Endpoint Security & XDR and Abuseipdb). Thanks Jono!
It's not really called phantom anymore, just Splunk SOAR. As a SOC lead..that calendar made me cry. My days are all meetings lol. Kind of surprised your company allows footage about actual work content. This was a pretty great highlight of a day in the life of a soc analyst. You seem to operate in a tierless role, which i appreciate. 100% agree on remote work.
Hey there, yep it's now called SOAR (we were still migrating from OnPrem which was still Phantom). Definitely have to make sure the confidential details are blurred out to make content like this!
A lot of Splunk SOAR still makes references to phantom. While we are on the topic, I 100% hate it.
I have to admit that you are the most real SOC Analyst that I find and it is great to listen to. Keep up the great work.
A "Real" day in the life video. Super legit. Thanks.
Thanks!
wayyy better than a "day in life" showing how they drink their coffee and workout lol
@@butchbytes-sec Appreciate it!
This is the best video of Day in the Life of Cyber analyst I have ever seen. Keep up good quality, real, NO BS content like this!!!!!
Appreciate the feedback!
I love the way you edited this! WFH seems like so much fun
Thaanks
It is fun to work from home but from personal experience, I got sick of it after 6 months. I felt like my head was always in the workspace as i was at home all the time. Guess it is personal opinion but I regret the time I missed out on, that could've been spent with teammates at work and people off screens.
In my bsc of cyber final year. Realized late that i haven't been purposeful in chasing this dream and i got back on my feet . Studying now to follow the SOC analyst path. With God's help I'll get get there. Thank you
Same brother 🙏🙏
Bro i taken commerce with computer application in plus two. If i take BSC CYBER SECURITY does maths will be a big problem to me?
The best video I have seen so far explaining a normal day In the life of a Cyber security analyst. Thanks for sharing.
I like that you got straight to the point not like other yters where they say they go do yoga then for a run then breakfast then to work and they don’t even show what they do. Keep it up
Great video! I start a cybersecurity job this summer after I graduate . It’s WFH and I’ve worked in data science with this company as an intern and had to do some basic data security work! Thanks for the insights!
Can't wait man. Look forward to getting away from manual labor. Great content. Keep growing
Thanks for the feedback! Best of luck.
This is the first video I've seen on this type. Other videos say "a day in the life " but turns out to be crap and not a full run down of duties etc. thanks for the video!
hello! fellow remote cybersecurity analyst here :) This has to be the most realistic and least "hype" video about being a remote worker, especially in IT / cyber. Cheers!
I agree with your points about productivity. Not being stuck in those small talk loops, or worse - not getting along with your co workers at all. At least being remote, it is harder to find those contentious working moments (aside from investigating alerts ahaha gah! blasted windows defender)
But I enjoy it thoroughly, currently i'm a level 1 analyst and skilling up as my time goes on, leveraging the extra free time i have not being forced to office travel and traffic commute, and since i am home - if i ever get bored or video games arent enough, my work stuff is right here and I can do some of those personal projects from my office for a bit if i choose.
Great video.
Just want to echo what a lot of other comments are already saying, but thank you for such an insightful video on an actual day in the life of a SOC Analyst. For those of us actually looking into becoming an analyst, this helps much more compared to the more entertainment type day in the life videos (which are also still cool to watch).
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you Jono ✊🏽 So hard to get into an entry level job rn with my Sec+ and Network+ certs. Currently getting my bachelors in Cybersecurity and looking to Join Active duty after graduation just to get my TSC. I’m hoping that’ll lead me into the right direction.
Best of luck!
Currently active duty 35T, I highly recommend 17C or 35L if you want to get some good security experience and the TS/SCI (army btw)
Same currently in the reserves as 25U switching to 17C as this is what I do for my day job.
@@tommynunemann1117Haha Just came out of Tango school. About one month ago, when did you finish?
I'm currently working toward my bachelors in Cybersecurity as well, I do have tech support experience, as well as being tech savvy, though I wish I had done this years ago, I'm currently 44, and hope i'm not too old to be starting over.
I’m so glad you posted this. I’m looking to go back to school and I want to get my degree in Cyber Security. I’m also 44.
Thanks for the lesson. Cloudstrike also does application control with other solutions, so you don't need to call the User.
Hey, I'm 23 and working as an emergency triage analyst. This video was very fun to watch as we have a lot of the same parts to the however even though I am 23 and never went to a full 4-year college program or have any degrees in the industry atm. I applied in 2021 for this job and during the past year I studied cyber security over 4 hours a day for over a year. I feel as this field is growing at an exponential rate. I am currently working to get some certs. This field requires skills and care of what you do and putting your all into everything. I really appreciate your videos and would love to make one like this. Thanks for sharing!!!
Pretty accurate as a typical day for a cybersecurity analyst. This should be very helpful to newcomers, nice job.
Thank you for this content. I am coming from a social work / psychology background and I want to make a shift into cybersecurity.
Nice video. You are the first SOC Analyst that clearly tells the daily works of this job. We have now a concrete idea 👍
Wow!! An actual Day! Most people just hide and don't really show you anything. They just talk. Im in a boot camp right now, and I can't wait to start my first professional job.
you do more than I do..
I moved from second line to SOC in January last year and most of my time is checking and releasing emails.. Everything else seems to take care of itself and we have an external third party doing most of the higher level monitoring.
most of my time is spent trying to find things to do or do some training - although i really need to get into creating a Splunk dashboard.
Think I've been into the office once this year, although that could have been last year.
Mind me asking what the salary is for you currently? And if you're in US/Europe.
@@MilaSlashTV I'm in the UK.. 40k. I moved internally when somebody left, so not on the highest salary for the role but just still getting experience and qualifications.
@@TrevM0nkey i appreciate the answer! And you’re a tier 1 right as in entry-level ?
jono could you please make another video showing more indepth how you respond to incidents inside phantom? that would be SUPER helpful for someone new to Cyber security like me.
Hey there, thanks for the suggestion. Stay tuned!
I've never heard of this role/job, but it sounds/looks quite interesting! Currently taking my degree as a software engineer and are at my second semester right now. Liking it so far! Not really anything .NET coding yet. Only embedded microcontroller programming and such. Can't wait to finally get to do front- and backend development!
Thanks for the feedback!
Could you give us a set up tour ? This video was so good I’m also aspiring to be a soc analysist
Strong mental focus appears to be your greatest asset. More videos, please!
Thanks for sharing your routine, knowledge and experience! You without a doubt, are a busy - busy man! You present yourself well in the video, and most definitely know your stuff! I'm just getting started in CS as a newcomer but I wish you were my trainer! Take good care! Joe
Your video is amazing and very informative thank you this is what i was to achieve and am getting certificates for the tools and knowledge for this job
Thanks for this video, for sharing your thoughts. I have a similar position as a Cybersecurity Analyst in a company and I agree in all you said. I spend most my time in the same "control" activities (alerts, tickets, investigation) and enjoy the creative development side of the job as well. I wish our company would reconsider remote work as transport, lunch, and personal productivity and morale would be so much better. Thanks again.
Great video & demo!
Thanks!
This was extremely insightful. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this with us.
Great video. I'm looking into entry level Cyber Sec jobs and really wanted to see what the actual work could potentially looked like.
Thank you for giving us an idea about your work. I am still getting more information about SOC if it is a good fit for me. I wish you will to your channel. God Bless you! :)
Thank you for the feedback!
The only, video that justifies the title.
Gold content thanks for sharing the details,routine and resources u use. 🙏🏻
Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome video, glad you showed what you do and I agree with the remote reasoning.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
best a real day in the life of a soc i have seen so far. keep making them videos
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey mate, loved the video. What skills/certs/degrees did you have to get this job? What was the interview process like? Is it a hard job to get?
Hey there! Check out my other vid "How to land a Cyber Security job with no experience"
This is great! Thanks for sharing! Would love more of these.
Good video man! Currently tryn to break into the industry.
TYTYTY
For being the most transparent TECHNICAL advisor / content creator
I appreciate you for showing what I should be focusing on and what companies actually require we learn!
Thanks for the feedback!
This really makes me want to become a SOC analyst. Unfortunately I don’t have experience nor a degree. I’m going through the cyber security course by Google rn and I understood everything you said and did in this video, yet most companies won’t hire me due to lack of a degree and relevant work experience 😢.
Love this perfect video I was looking for.
Basically a security guard for a castle doing checks. Sounds repetitive and stressful
love this very inspiring
especially a potential beginnneer not in the field yet
jus pondering
^
Went to school for cyber security and I;ve been on help desk for two years. Hoping to get here one day
All the best!
This is amazing. As software engineer our remote work looks the same 😂. You watching anime while meeting this is amazing
Good video and thank you for someone actually showing what they do!
Appreciate the feedback!
Hi bro, Since much before I was searching for this type of video, And I finally got!. Thanks for the video and I'm waiting for more videos like this.
Appreciate the feedback!
I like how you show some great resources website that you use , am likely will look into them and try them out myself.
All the best!
As a SOC Analyst I would prefer going to the office it is more productive than working from home For me it would be easy to communicate and discuss incidents effectively when in office
this is the best day in the life SOC video i ever seen lol gj !
Thanks!
Great video! Thank you ! Recently found your channel and subscribed:) can you make video on real Threat hunting process or steps follow in analyzing logs and what steps taken to mitigate realtime threats .
For the love of everything HOLY clean that Coffee station PLEASE my ocd is killing me!
Hey there, this is an unfiltered video after all!
I have almost completed my Google Cybersecurity Certificate and will be on the hunt for jobs. I want to get into pentesting, but I think it would be beneficial for me to find a job like yours to understand how everything works from the defensive side of things first. Do you have any must-know tips that you could share?
I have a question. I wanna take cyber security courses at wgu but I’m aware it’s online, I think. Im just scared that I’m getting into something I don’t know where I’m gonna learn the courses but not get the hands on how to do it. Feels like I’m jumping in a pool without knowing how to swim.
Do you have access to AbuseIPDB's database? Couldn't you kinda make a pre-block list for the firewall of those IPs?
Contrary to other youtubers you give more details about what you do and I really appreciate that
Great video and insight.
I’m thinking about studying to become SOC but this looks very boring
Same here! I’m on the same boat!
My favorite part, staying away from distracting people, to help other people
hi, thanks for making such an awesome video! I’m starting university soon pursuing a bachelors in Information Security. I was wondering if it would help possible for me to do part-time work study program as a SOC analyst while juggling studies? 😅
Is there any on the job training for a first time job as a cyber security analyst for a remote position? Like show you how to use the systems and programs that the company chooses to use?
Hey there, yes usually you get about at least month or so to settle in and learn the ropes first.
Now to the most important question: what is that background image you have in the thumbnail on your left screen? Looks dope
Great video and it actually showed what it is really like. GJ.
Appreciate the feedback!
Hey thank you for the information,hope job market in Europe is good too for this position..
Thanks for the feedback!
bro you living the life!
Any advice on getting a WFH job? No experience? I would love to break out of the construction life.
How did you land your first job in cybersecurity? I have a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, have 4 certs most notably CompTIA Security+ and AWS cloud practitioner. But I still struggle to even land a job interview, most jobs, even the entry level SOC Level 1 need work experience. Not sure how to get into the industry
Hey there, check out my video "How to land a Cyber Security job with no experience | My Experience" as I explain how I landed my job there!
@@TechwithJono ok I just watched your video. I got one job interview as IT service desk from a massive company. I know I’m probably overqualified and the salary is pretty low but I think I might take it if they offer the job cause at least this might open up the way for me.
@@DrOAK better to get a cyber security related job first
Hey, so how much one needs to know to have a comfortable job as you do ?
Im curious about IT and want to learn it myself , tired of manual Labour and want some change since i love PCs...
Any tips i can get from you?
Loved this perspective! How does personal time fit in? For family/ hobbies
Very good video. Thank you for sharing.
This was a great video! Very detailed
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video mate, very helpful and Informative! I actually graduated as a certified pipe welder from trade school but decided to continue my education and get an AA in cyber security from my local community college. Do you have any advice for someone like me? Keep In mind I still need to work to pay bills during school so I can’t be a full time student at a university.
I've been working from home for 4 years now. While i love the flexibility and the time I have to myself from working at home, I miss hanging out with co workers with the usual daily banters. Talking about the latest ufo conspiracies, watching the new guy break something, telling my coworker how he got ripped off on his new lease, grinding on an unsuspecting sleeping coworker LOL
Thank you for the content and insights. What certifications and projects helped you get that foot on the door for an interview/job?
why would you block an ip address? I am just curious because i know that most rotate and some big companies borrow IP's such as google
Thanks, Would you please made a small series of Splunk Configuration. and about how to geting started with SOAR
Thanks for the suggestion!
I didn't really understand your 'Development work' section. You created that management board (coding it up) or its already created and you are calling something similar to SQL queries to get data? Hope you can clarify!
So, it looks like the devices that employees use to work from home are very heavily monitored - does this include your own setup? Do you have separate setups for personal/work use?
Very informative video! Do you have a separate work computer from your personal computer?
"What's blocking you?"
ALL THESE F-ING MEETINGS!
Hi, how is your work and life balance working for you? Is it that bad as I see in an article that you could receive calls from your boss in the evening, weekends and even holidays? Thanks.
Rn I'm just trying to finish my cyber security minor major in college because I am double majoring with another major which is my main career but when i finish my cyber security minor major I am going to apply for a cyber security job next year because with cyber security you don't need a degree just experience and skills
Great video, but I am curious as to what percentage of cyber security jobs are fully remote from your experience?
I'm trying to land a work-from-home SOC analyst, but in my country, it is challenging. I'm trying my luck with foreign companies, but the barriers to entering the market are very high.
Hey there, unfortunately this happens but best of luck!
@@TechwithJono Thank you for replying back
Man, great video! We also use Crowdstrike in our company. I was wonderinh where do you get ideas on what queries or dashboards you should make? What's your thought process in making those and can you give examples?
Appreciate the feedback, stay tuned for that!
This was great and so helpful. Im knew to the tech world and was considering getting Cybersecurity certificate. Do you think they are good to start off with ?
Hello , where do I study this. Could you please send the link to online school to learn this . Thank you
How to become a cyber security analyst without visiting University? I really appreciate any helpful tip to this question
that dashboard is genius
Thanks, I appreciate this 🎉🎉
With all the products you guys use for automation the job you described seems like anyone with investigate skills can get OJT and can do it. Other than the dev stuff
Thanks for this! As someone pivoting to cybersecurity, I have a better understanding of which softwares to familiarize myself with.
Thanks for the feedback!
good video mate, but why see guard duty alerts seperately? Why not ingesting in Splunk? I was just curious for that.
Hey there, we do in fact ingest them in Splunk. Better visualisation on AWS just for the video tho!
@techwithJono When you work from home what time does your day usually end?
What certs/courses have you taken that helped for your position?
it would be my dream. I'm studying comptia sec+ and also penetration pentest+ and then i will do the diplom in IT
Wish you the very best!
@@TechwithJono
thanks u very much, i hope. I always liked the world of hacking(in general )
but unfortunately I could not do the studies that I wanted for my parent's fault..in addition to studies I subscribe to every cyber-security channel I find interesting to learn more, including your keep going.Among my prefer channels youtube about cyber-security there are David Bombal, NetworkChuck and Loi Liang Yang they are monsters of talent
Hey, I recently got into IT. I was a pre med student and last year(Fall 2022) I changed my major to IT. I did get accepted into an accelerated program(4+1) for M.S Cybersecurity. I am trying to get a cybersecurity internship for summer 2024. I have software development internship experience under my belt from CVS during summer 2023. Any ideas of what I should do to increase my chances to land a cybersecurity role this summer(2024)? P.S I graduate with my degree in 2025(Spring).
