Generally I’m just looking for more formal SOC training. Specifically I’d like them to learn more about SIEM management, traffic analysis, incident response and report writing. What I like about the BTL1 from what I’ve read is that it’s all lab-based rather than knowledge-based like their Sec+ certs or some other entry-level security certs. That said it’s a new program so while I’ve seen some buzz about it, it’s just from randoms and strangers so I don’t have a good way to see if it’s really worth the time or money.
No no see the credentials have been towed outside the environment.
