The entrance to the rabbit hole of security. SANS SEC-450: Blue Team Fundamentals: Security Operations and Analysis. This certification confirmed that I was able to learn my way through cybersecurity analysis as I had just started it a few months prior. Also, my first “great” challenge coin, which I really had to earn. Luckily, my existing experience in IT and security, from understanding network traffic and email headers to web development and other more obscure parts of information technology helped me a lot to be really ready and prepared to ace that class. I am grateful to the people who I was working with and gave me a chance to get into the field and prove myself.
