Before taking this class, we highly recommend our students take our "How to become a Computer Technical Support Specialist" class. Without prior computer experience, it will be harder to understand the concepts and follow through with the contents. There is a lot to cover in learning to become a Security Analyst. We have done 50% of the work. Now it is your turn to complete the other 50%. This course was created only for serious students. Suppose you are trying to wing it; this course is not for you. You will have to take notes, do lots of hands-on practice and absorb the concepts behind why we use specific tools the way we did. Ray and I worked at Symantec as Senior Security Analyst for a couple of years. We have seen the industry tools used internally and applied internal Incident Analytics workflows. Our experience helped us craft this class. In this Part 1 of 3 How to become a Security Analyst class, you will learn how to build virtual security systems install open-source security tools, in this case, IDS. You will also operate a Pentesting Linux Distribution KALI and, last but not least, operate a popular Linux OS Distribution CentOS 8.
