From Zero to SOC Analyst: The Complete 10-Lesson Course That Replaces Video Training

Most SOC analyst courses are 40 hours of video you'll forget by Friday. iSET+ just rebuilt the entire SOC Analyst track as 10 interactive, read-along lessons you actually retain — covering SIEM engineering with Splunk, KQL threat hunting in Microsoft Sentinel, PCAP network forensics with TShark, malware triage, EDR hunting with CrowdStrike Falcon, MISP threat intel integration, and automated SOAR playbook building. Every lesson includes step-by-step walkthroughs written so a 15-year-old can follow along, plus a 45-question interview bonus quiz with 6 rotating versions. Here's what's in the course, why interactive text beats video for retention, and how to use it to land your first SOC job — even with zero experience.
