SOC Analyst Learning Notes

Sharing My SOC Analyst Learning Notes

I’m sharing my SOC Analyst learning notes with my network in the hope that they help students and beginners who are starting their journey in cybersecurity.

These notes cover core SOC and security fundamentals, including:

• Networking basics (LAN, WAN, MAN)

• Firewalls, IDS/IPS, and WAF

• SIEM and log analysis

• Malware and threat concepts

• CIA Triad and security principles

• OSI model and common protocols

Cybersecurity is a field where strong fundamentals truly matter.

Before advanced tools and automation, understanding how networks work, how threats behave, and how defenses are built makes all the difference.

These notes helped me revise concepts, clarify gaps, and build a stronger foundation — and I hope they can do the same for others.
