Job Roles

Security Analyst: This is the most general title and encompasses a wide range of security tasks, including monitoring security tools for suspicious activity, investigating security incidents, and performing basic security analysis.
Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst: This role is more specific and focuses on the day-to-day operations of an SOC. SOC Analysts monitor security tools, investigate security alerts, and escalate incidents to more senior personnel when needed. (This is the role the course directly prepares you for)
Security Engineer: Security Engineers design, implement, and maintain security controls to protect an organization's systems and data. While this role often requires more experience, the foundational skills learned in the SOC Analyst course can be a stepping stone.
Incident Responder: Incident Responders are responsible for investigating and resolving security incidents. They work to contain the damage from an attack, identify the attacker, and prevent future incidents. The skills learned in identifying and investigating security events during the SOC Analyst course are valuable for this role.
Threat Hunter: Threat Hunters proactively search for hidden threats within a network. They use advanced techniques to identify potential attacks before they occur. The SOC Analyst course can provide a strong foundation for understanding threat hunting methodologies.

What Will You Learn?

The Rocheston Certified SOC Analyst (RSOC) program equips you to be a SOC pro.
